U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Partners for Wildlife Projects

Barry Conservation District is proud to act as a local liaison for wetland restorations in Barry County.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Partners for Fish & Wildlife program works with private landowners to improve fish and wildlife habitat on their lands. They are leaders in voluntary, community-based stewardship for fish and wildlife conservation.

The future of the nation’s fish and wildlife depends on private landowners – more than 90% of land in the Midwest is in private ownership. Providing more high quality habitat not only helps wildlife – by contributing to a healthy landscape, you create a conservation legacy to pass on to future generations.
