Partners for Fish and Wildlife in North Carolina
 All private landowners qualify to participate in Partners for Fish and Wildlife.
Partners for Fish and Wildlife provides technical assistance such as habitat restoration and enhancement recommendations and planning. Since the program began in North Carolina in 1988, nearly 15,000 acres of upland and bottomland habitat and 30 miles of streams have been restored in over 230 projects throughout North Carolina. Financial assistance is often available. Landowners are expected to agree to keep their land in the restored condition for a minimum of 10 years and to provide cost share or in kind services.
