About this program
The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service administers the Landowner Incentive program (CFDA 15.633), which funds habitat protection, restoration, and enhancement on private lands through technical or financial assistance to landowners, with the most recent grant award made on April 1, 2011.
The program has not been active in recent years. Award activity ceased after 2011, with only one award in that year and a sharp decline beginning in 2008 (20 awards) and 2009 (16 awards) following peak activity in 2007 (141 awards) and 2006 (122 awards). The program distributed $68.5 million in combined federal dollars obligated across 833 awards since its inception in 2000, with recipients contributing an additional $39.8 million in non-federal matching funds for a total of $108.3 million obligated.
Funded activities center on habitat management and conservation easements for at-risk species. Representative recent awards included tree thinning and meadow restoration in ponderosa pine forests ($180,000), wetland creation for fish and wildlife along lake shorelines ($105,650), riparian planting and protection ($62,000), conservation easements protecting sensitive species habitat ($1.2 million to $3.5 million for larger acquisitions), and black-footed ferret recovery management ($2.1 million). State and tribal landowner incentive programs constituted a substantial portion of the portfolio.
The program is dominated by the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service as the sole funder of all 833 awards. Assistance was distributed predominantly as Project Grants (54 percent, 448 awards) with a substantial share of Cooperative Agreements (44 percent, 370 awards) and a small number of Formula Grants (2 percent, 15 awards). Award magnitudes ranged from under $20,000 to several million dollars, with conservation easement acquisitions and larger ecosystem restoration projects at the high end and smaller habitat management initiatives at the low end.
