The partners for fish and wildlife program (PFW) is a proven approach to voluntary conservation viewed positively by landowners and other partners

Partners for Conservation, Inc. will receive $200,200 under a Cooperative Agreement awarded by the U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 9 Headquarters on March 15, 2023. The funding supports the Partners for Fish and Wildlife program, CFDA #15.631, through March 15, 2027.

Specifically, the non-profit organization will host two national gatherings of Partners for Fish and Wildlife biologists and other voluntary conservation practitioners, as well as private landowners. They will also produce two short films and two regional biologist-landowner learning sessions highlighting the multi-perspective relationships that support working landscape conservation under the program. The Partners for Fish and Wildlife program aims to deliver Department of the Interior priorities by providing technical and financial assistance to private landowners and Native American Tribes interested in voluntary conservation efforts.

Partnerscapes helps carry out the service S model of private lands conservation by acting as vital communicators and trainers, fostering a non hostile environment for outreach, critical conversations and productive relationships in places important to wildlife, landowners and sportsmen across the country. This cooperative agreement will support two national gatherings of PFW biologists, other voluntary conservation practitioners, and landowners, two short films highlighting the multi perspective relationships key to working landscape conservation, and two regional biologist landowner learning sessions to support working landscape conservation.
