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