The U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service awarded the American Bird Conservancy (ABC) a $187,500 Project Grant under the Migratory Bird Joint Ventures (CFDA 15.637) program. The two-year grant, running from June 2024 to May 2026, will fund habitat restoration and management efforts to benefit the golden-winged warbler and improve forest health on private and public lands in New York. Specifically, the grant will allow ABC to implement conservation on lands with high potential but whose owners are not enrolled in the Natural Resources Conservation Service's Working Lands for Wildlife program. The project aims to improve at least 400 acres of forest and shrubland habitat, contributing to the conservation goals outlined in the golden-winged warbler status assessment and regional bird conservation plans. ABC utilizes a partnership approach, working closely with federal, state, and local stakeholders to deliver these habitat enhancement initiatives.
