Partners for Fish and Wildlife FY23
The Partners for Fish and Wildlife (PFW) Program is a voluntary, incentive-based program that provides direct technical assistance and financial assistance in the form of cooperative and grant agreements to private landowners to restore and conserve fish and wildlife habitat for the benefit of federal
trust resources.
The PFW Program is delivered through more than 250 full-time staff, active in all 50 States and territories.
Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program staff coordinate with project partners, stakeholders and other Service programs to identify geographic focus areas and develop habitat conservation priorities within these focus areas.
Geographic focus areas define where the program directs resources to conserve habitat for federal trust species.
Project work plans are developed strategically, in coordination with partners, and with substantial involvement from Service field staff.
The program has been in existence since 1987 and has over 30 years of successful delivery.
Project selection will seek to align or support the Secretary’s priorities.
It also advances the Department of the Interior’s mission, U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s mission, and PFW’s mission, promote biological diversity, and based upon sound scientific biological principles.
Program strategic plans inform the types of projects funded under this opportunity.
