The U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service, under the North American Wetlands Conservation Fund (CFDA 15.623) program, awarded a $202,219 project grant to the Wisconsin Waterfowl Association Inc. to restore 197 wetland acres and 15 upland acres, and enhance 20 wetland acres across six counties in Wisconsin. The project aims to increase breeding, foraging, and migratory resting habitat for waterfowl and non-game wetland-associated migratory birds through activities such as removing drainage ditches, spoil banks, and berms, and planting warm-season native prairie species. This grant, awarded on February 5, 2025, supports the organization's efforts to partner with federal agencies on wetland and grassland conservation, habitat restoration, and ecosystem management projects that benefit wildlife and address climate change impacts.
