This grant from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service aims to fund wetland and habitat restoration projects to conserve native Great Lakes wildlife populations, focusing on migratory birds. The program provides technical and financial assistance to private landowners for habitat conservation within Great Lakes Areas of Concern. Rather than a traditional grants program, it is a direct federal assistance initiative where projects are developed in collaboration with field biologists. Researchers work closely with landowners in the Great Lakes region to implement projects aligned with regional strategic plans. For more details, reach out to the local Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program office.

| Description:: | The Great Lakes Restoration Initiative targets the most significant environmental problems in the Great Lakes ecosystem by funding and implementing federal projects that address these problems. One goal is to improve habitat and wildlife protection and restoration. Using funding from the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Partners for Fish and Wildlife (PFW) Program anticipates funding wetland and associated upland habitat restoration and enhancement projects for conservation of native Great Lakes fish and wildlife populations, particularly migratory birds. Restoration projects will be completed on privately owned (non-federal/non-state) lands. Emphasis will be placed on, but not limited to, completing projects within the watersheds of Great Lakes Areas of Concern. The PFW Program is a voluntary, incentive-based program that provides technical and financial assistance to private landowners to restore and conserve fish and wildlife habitat.
The PFW Program is not a traditional grants program; it is a direct federal assistance program. The PFW Program does not solicit projects through a request for proposals. Instead, projects are developed in collaboration and with substantial involvement from PFW field biologists. In the Great Lakes, PFW biologists from eight states work directly with landowners to plan and implement projects based on priorities and geographic focus areas identified in a regional strategic plan. For more information, contact the local PFW Program office. For office contact information please visit: http://www.fws.gov/partners/contactUs.html. |
