Federal Grant Award Summary

Pheasants Forever, Inc. received a $1,187,213 Project Grant from the National Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) under the Conservation Reserve Program (CFDA 10.069), effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2030. The award supports the delivery of precision agriculture and conservation solutions across North Dakota, with primary emphasis on demonstrating enterprise-specific data that links conservation practices and adoption of best management practices to increased farm profitability. Through this five-year funding period, Pheasants Forever will implement and promote conservation initiatives that enhance wildlife habitat, improve soil and water quality, and advance voluntary conservation practice adoption on agricultural lands.

The grant leverages Pheasants Forever's established expertise in habitat restoration and technical assistance to landowners and agricultural producers. As a non-profit conservation organization with extensive experience administering NRCS and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service awards, Pheasants Forever will serve as the primary service delivery vehicle, likely coordinating with state and local partners to provide on-the-ground conservation planning, implementation support, and technical assistance. The program's focus on demonstrating measurable conservation and economic outcomes aligns with the Conservation Reserve Program's broader objectives of cost-effectively implementing conservation practices while supporting the viability of agricultural operations.
