The partnerships announced today include: [LIST] [*]A $9.9 million partnership with [B]The Nature Conservancy[/B] will increase the scope and speed of low-tech process-based restoration (such as creating natural-looking beaver dams and rock structures) in key western watersheds to support healthy riverscapes and intact sagebrush ecosystems. The partnership will include up to seven landscapes in Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Colorado, Oregon, and Utah where The Nature Conservancy will work with BLM offices to accelerate implementation of these restoration methods. [*]An $8.9 million partnership with [B]Trout Unlimited[/B] on a large-scale, coordinated watershed and aquatic restoration initiative across arid landscapes of the Upper Colorado Basin, California-Great Basin, and Columbia Pacific Northwest regions. This initiative will improve drought resiliency, promote aquatic connectivity, and conserve ecosystems, habitats, and the species that depend upon them. [*]A $3.5 million partnership with the [B]Mule Deer Foundation[/B] on BLM-managed public lands to improve and conserve important habitat for mule deer and sage-grouse. This agreement will focus on defending and growing core sagebrush habitat, which provides key winter and migratory habitats for mule deer. [*]Across BLM-managed lands in the West, $2.5 million will be used to employ and manage a team of [B]Backcountry Hunters and Anglers’[/B] (BHA) field staff to inventory, modify, and remove fences on BLM lands in areas of identified need. The partnership will also include BHA members, supporters, and corporate partners to assist with fence work. [*]In New Mexico, $1.8 million will fund a partnership with the [B]National Fish and Wildlife Foundation[/B] (NFWF) to support project work through its Pecos Watershed Conservation Initiative and Southern Plains Grassland Program. These established NFWF programs support the goals of BLM's Restore New Mexico program to restore and maintain rangelands. [*]In New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah, $1.2 million will fund the [B]Navajo Nation’s Diné Native Plants Program[/B], a native plant seed banking and ecological restoration program. The funding will support project outreach and expand the cultural plants aspect of the program for another two years. The BLM and Navajo Nation will collaborate to establish a seed certification program and administrative pathways for the program to be able to market and sell native plant materials to Federal and non-Federal agencies, including directly to the BLM. [*]Selected projects are in areas that hold significant potential for cross-boundary partnerships and investments from Federal agencies, State, Tribal and local governments, private landowners, and partner groups to support increasing the scope and scale of restoration work. [/LIST] bravo, how much winter thermal cover and alfalfa bales could you purchase with $161 million? And this is just a drop in the bucket. To name a few, Obama's Get Outdoors America Initiative, the Recovering Americas Wildlife Act $1.4 Billion and the Farm Bill just expired with $6 Billion. After all the money that has been spent, there should be a big buck behind every bush on public land. [/QUOTE]
