Heritage
Ranch Institute has received notice of a pending grant
award from the US Fish and Wildlife Service under the
Private Stewardship Grants Program. This grant program
supports voluntary on-the-ground conservation actions
on private lands to support endangered, threatened, or
imperiled species. Heritage Ranch Institute has designed
a plan that will include the following actions:
· Reintroduce extirpated species that have a beneficial
impact on biodiversity
· Protect nesting and
roosting habitats
· Restrict detrimental human
intrusion
· Control nonnative competitors
· Improve pond and stream habitats through fencing
and grazing management
· Support other efforts
to reintroduce endangered species
After the grant award has been executed by the FWS Partner's
Program, this grant will enable HRI to employ a full-time
Wildlife Biologist and a Field Assistant to implement
our projects and monitor the results of these conservation
actions. While this will result in an acceleration of
our remediation activities, now more than ever we will
need the assistance of our volunteers. Please watch the
bulletin and the website for information on how you can
help.
