The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) awarded a $20,780,000 Cooperative Agreement to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) under the Adaptive Science grant program (CFDA 15.670).

Key services provided under this award include:

  • Establishing the Delaware Watershed Conservation Fund to support diverse subaward projects focused on habitat restoration, water quality improvements, community engagement, youth workforce development, and other conservation initiatives within the Delaware River Watershed. The subawards range in scope from planning and design to on-the-ground implementation of various conservation practices.

  • Leveraging NFWF's expertise in managing competitive grant programs and partnerships to deliver measurable outcomes for natural resources, recreation access, and community resilience in the Delaware River basin.

Description

As the agency reported it.

Authorized by the national fish and wildlife foundation establishment act, 16 U.S.C. 3701 of 1984, NFWF will assist FWS by developing a competitive grant program with the goal of improving restoration and protection of the resources in the delaware river watershed by enhancing efforts to coordinate the many, already committed, partners. NFWF has a longstanding commitment to watershed restoration and stewardship, focused on demonstrable improvements for natural resources and social values, including native biodiversity conservation and recovery of key indicator species. NFWF has a track record of engagement with community leaders and private landowners and has previously assisted FWS using this proven grant program model. The delaware watershed conservation fund (DWCF) will maximize conservation, bolster the economy, further protect communities, improve human health, provide greater outdoor recreation opportunities, and help build a more adaptable watershed for all citizens to enjoy today and into the future.
