Landowner conservation is important because nearly 70 percent of land in the United States is privately owned. Public and private landowners are critical partners in ensuring the health and sustainability of America's fish, wildlife and plant species.</span></p><p><span>Projects are voluntary and customized to meet landowners’ needs. Participating landowners continue to own and manage their land while they improve conditions for wildlife.</span></p><p><span>Our staff provide free technical and financial assistance to plan, design, supervise and monitor customized habitat restoration projects. These projects range in size from a wetland of a few acres to a grassland restoration covering several hundred thousand acres. </span></p><p><span>Many Partners for Fish and Wildlife projects take place on working landscapes such as forests, farms and ranches. We focus our efforts on areas of conservation concern, such upland forests, wetlands, native prairies, marshes, rivers and streams. We design projects to benefit federal trust species including migratory birds, endangered, threatened and at-risk species.</span></p><h4>How to Get Started</h4><figure role="group" class="align-left one_third_width_image"><div class="embedded-media-image full_width_image"><div class="image-with-credit"><div class="field field--name-field-media-image field--type-image field--label-hidden field--item"> <picture> <source srcset="/sites/default/files/styles/scale_width_1200/public/2022-08/prime-hook-marsh-bart-wilson.jpg.webp?itok=TCCwt3tL 1x" media="all and (min-width: 992px)" type="image/webp" width="1200" height="900"> <source srcset="/sites/default/files/styles/scale_width_992/public/2022-08/prime-hook-marsh-bart-wilson.jpg.webp?itok=Vn02fQeO 1x" media="all and (min-width: 768px)" type="image/webp" width="992" height="744"> <source srcset="/sites/default/files/styles/scale_width_768/public/2022-08/prime-hook-marsh-bart-wilson.jpg.webp?itok=C39se0C5 1x" media="all and (min-width: 481px)" type="image/webp" width="768" height="576"> <source srcset="/sites/default/files/styles/scale_width_480/public/2022-08/prime-hook-marsh-bart-wilson.jpg.webp?itok=EWvge62a 1x" media="(max-width: 480px)" type="image/webp" width="480" height="360"> <source srcset="/sites/default/files/styles/scale_width_1200/public/2022-08/prime-hook-marsh-bart-wilson.jpg?itok=TCCwt3tL 1x" media="all and (min-width: 992px)" type="image/jpeg" width="1200" height="900"> <source srcset="/sites/default/files/styles/scale_width_992/public/2022-08/prime-hook-marsh-bart-wilson.jpg?itok=Vn02fQeO 1x" media="all and (min-width: 768px)" type="image/jpeg" width="992" height="744"> <source srcset="/sites/default/files/styles/scale_width_768/public/2022-08/prime-hook-marsh-bart-wilson.jpg?itok=C39se0C5 1x" media="all and (min-width: 481px)" type="image/jpeg" width="768" height="576"> <source srcset="/sites/default/files/styles/scale_width_480/public/2022-08/prime-hook-marsh-bart-wilson.jpg?itok=EWvge62a 1x" media="(max-width: 480px)" type="image/jpeg" width="480" height="360"> <img loading="eager" src="/sites/default/files/styles/scale_width_480/public/2022-08/prime-hook-marsh-bart-wilson.jpg?itok=EWvge62a" width="480" height="360" alt="a large flock of birds fly over water, their reflection can be seen on the surface" class="img-responsive"> </picture></div><div class="attribution"> <a href="/media/prime-hook-nwr-marsh-birds">Image Details</a></div></div></div><figcaption>Partners for Fish and Wildlife: Migratory Snow Geese Overwintering on Private Lands Adjacent to Prime Hook NWR in Delaware</figcaption></figure><p><span>All private landowners interested in restoring wildlife habitat on their land are eligible to participate.
