Landowner Assistance Programs in Florida Gainesville, Florida September 24, 2010

Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

Partners for Fish & Wildlife Program Voluntary program that provides technical and financial assistance for habitat restoration on private lands. Private lands = Any non-federal or non-state lands. Emphasis is placed on projects that benefit federal trust resources including Federally- listed T&E species and other declining or imperiled species, migratory birds, and inter-jurisdictional fisheries and lands adjacent to Refuges. Funding assistance through the Partners Program is not available to purchase land-use rights (e.g., to purchase easements, pay rent, etc.).

Partners for Fish & Wildlife Program Projects with private landowners must secure a minimum 10-year agreement. 50/50 cost-share, either monetarily or in-kind. Reasonable access to project property. Extenuating circumstances - Landowner can opt out of agreement by reimbursing costs back to the Service on a pro-rated basis. Year-round (continuous) acceptance of proposals. (The When!)
