Award description project abstractdescription of projectthis cooperative agreement with sustainable northwest (SNW) will reduce horizontal incision, loss of lands, increase seasonal wetland acres on private lands and create a more robust cattle management plan by repairing and installing riparian fencing near BLY, oregon on private lands.increased wetlands are crucial for waterbirds as they provide essential habitats for feeding, nesting, and breeding. Wetlands offer abundant food sources such as fish, insects, and aquatic plants, which support the diverse dietary needs of different waterbird species. Healthy wetlands help maintain balanced ecosystems by filtering pollutants, controlling floods, and sustaining water levelsbenefits that directly impact the survival of waterbird populations. Increased wood supply and floodplain reconnection are vital for supporting healthy fish populations. Large woody debris in rivers and streams creates complex habitats by forming pools, providing cover, and slowing water flow, all of which offer essential shelter and breeding grounds for fish.action justificationthis project will achieve DOI proposed strategic objective 4.2 work collaboratively with states, partners, and governments by supporting public-private partnerships, as well as DOI proposed strategic objective 3.4 species and natural resources are protected by implementing actions that support species populations and overall health. This project will support species populations and health, use sound science to manage, create ecosystems that are healthy and balanced, support public-private partnerships. The partners for fish and wildlife act (16 U.S.C. 3771-3774) provides for the restoration, enhancement, and management of fish and wildlife habitats on private land through the partners for fish and wildlife program, a program that works with private landowners to conduct cost-effective
