Projects can include, but are not limited to, construction of fences to exclude feral ungulates, control of alien plants, control of mammalian predators, control of feral ungulates, out-planting of native plants, and restoration of native ecosystem elements such as hydrology and micro habitat conditions. The assistance provided by the Service can range from informal advice on the design and location of potential restoration projects to cost-share funding of project implementation under a formal cooperative agreement with the landowner.
Funding is limited.
Projects given highest priority are those that reestablish natural biological communities and provide long-term benefits to declining migratory bird and fish species, species that are endangered, threatened, candidates or proposed for listing, and those projects on private lands that satisfy the needs of wildlife populations on National Wildlife Refuges.
