The US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) is committed to creating new opportunities to assist underrepresented (i.e., minority) landowners and communities not traditionally reached. USFWS field staff have participated in a series of workshops aimed at increasing awareness of diverse land ownership in the southeast. This, our next step, is to focus on identifying specific partnering opportunities for staff to engage underrepresented landowners & communities, address individual needs, expand the knowledge of landowner assistance programs, and increase awareness for land stewardship and its benefits to species conservation.
