Working with private landowners to enhance the protections available for imperiled species has been a priority for this Administration. To meet that goal, the Department has initiated a new partnership grant program to assist private landowners in working to conserve and restore the habitat of endangered species and other at risk plants and animals.
The cost share grants, will support innovative partnerships across the United States. Too be eligible, state fish and wildlife agencies, landowners, or non-profit groups must put up at least 25 percent of the cost of projects.
The Landowner Incentive Program supports the Administration's overall Cooperative Conservation Initiative, which includes a number of conservation grant programs to assist states, tribes, conservation organizations, private landowners and others in conservation projects and programs.
