Grant Description

The National Wildlife Refuge Association (NWRA) is uniquely qualified for this award. NWRA's staff is the most comprehensive single collection of experts who have studied and tested methods refuges can use to collaborate with neighboring landowners. In addition, through its work with Friends organizations, state and federal agencies, academics, and other conservation non-profits, NWRA has unequalled access to an extensive network of refuge experts and stakeholders. This award requires NWRA to use that network to produce a report on successful landscape-level collaborations involving refuges and produce recommendations for increasing skills and capacity for landscape-level collaborations across the Refuge System. In addition, NWRA has unique communication systems, both web-based and print, which can be used to gather key information from Refuge System staff, Friends organizations, and refuge supporters inclusion in the report.
