Description
The Nevada Division of Forestry (NDF), in cooperation with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), offers Non-Traditional Section 6 Grants through the Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund. The program supports conservation planning and land acquisition to increase the viability and sustainability of species listed under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and candidate species in Nevada.
Funding supports Habitat Conservation Plan planning assistance, Habitat Conservation Plan land acquisition, and recovery land acquisition. The program emphasizes cooperation with local communities and voluntary stewardship on non-federal lands. More than half of endangered or threatened species spend at least part of their life cycle on these lands, making collaboration with states and landowners central to conservation efforts.
