Partnership to
help farmers
restore habitats
Agriculture Secretary Tom
Vilsack and Secretary of the
Interior Ken Salazar have
announced a new $33 million
partnership with farmers,
ranchers and forest landowners
to use innovative approaches to
restore and protect the habitats
for wildlife, including seven atrisk
species and other vulnerable
game species.
The announcement of the
Working Lands for Wildlife
partnership follows last week's
White House Conference on
Conservation that spotlighted
community-driven conservation
efforts as part of President
Obama's America's Great
Outdoors Initiative.
"America's natural resources
play a significant role in building
a strong and vibrant economy,"
said Vilsack. "Agricultural
lands with healthy and abundant
wildlife habitat support
strong incomes for our farmers
and ranchers and provide great
opportunities for enhancing
hunting % and fishing, outdoor
recreation and wildlife viewing."
' "This'
innovative partnership
'
aligns our goals of empowering
America's farmers and ranchers
to continue working their lands,
while furthering conservation of
imperiled species, such as the
greater sage grouse, through
'
voluntary measures," Salazar
said. "The Working Lands for
Wildlife initiative will allow us
to focus our resources where we
' can do the ' most good and will
serve as a model for a more efficient,
more effective, and more
cooperative way to improve the
health and diversity of working
landscapes and strengthen local
economies." ' ' '
Under ' this strategy, federal,
state and local wildlife experts
jointly identify at-risk species
that would benefit from targeted
habitat restoration investments
on private lands. Using
the best available science, the
partners will prioritize restorative
actions on a large regional
scale to most cost-effectively
' focus ' assistance. In ' return ' for
voluntarily ' ' ' making ' habitat '
' improvements ' ' on ' their ' lands,
' the federal ' government will provide
landowners with regulatory
certainty that they will not be
asked to take additional conservation
actions.
USDA's Natural Resources
Conservation Service and
Interior's U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service will jointly prepare
species recovery tools such as
informal agreements, safe harbor
agreements and habitat conservation
plans to provide regulatory
certainty to landowners.
The goal is to have these tools in
place for all priority species by
the end of the year. The seven
species initially selected for this
expanded campaign are: greater
sage-grouse, New England cottontail,
bog turtle, goldenwinged
warbler, gopher tortoise,
lesser prairie-chicken and the
Southwestern willow flycatcher.
The announcement kicks-off
the sign-up for Working Lands
for Wildlife. Landowners can
sign-up to manage and restore
high-priority habitats for the
seven specific wildlife species
that are located across the country.
Applications within the priority
habitat areas will receive
highest consideration.
Interested producers and
landowners in targeted areas
can enroll in the Wildlife
Habitat Incentive Program on a
continuous basis at their local
NRCS field office. NRCS funds
from WHIP will share the cost of
conservation practices with
landowners in areas known to
&
&
&
support one or more of the
selected species. For example,
two conservation practices that
improve sage-grouse habitat are
prescribed grazing and brush
management. In the past two
years, ranchers implemented
grazing systems on 1.3 million
acres of large sagebrush to
improve cattle forage and
increase hiding cover for nesting
birds. The additional grass
cover is projected to increase
sage-grouse populations by 8 to
10 percent.
For 14 years, WHIP has
worked to protect, restore or
develop fish and wildlife habitat
for many species, including
those considered at-risk. Since
2003, about $310 million has
been
&
committed
&
to 23,000 farmers,
ranchers and landowners to
provide wildlife treatments on
four million acres of private
working lands.
