[cayugabirds-l] Working Lands For Wildlife - grants for farmers, ranchers, forest owners
NRCS and FWS Reach Historic Agreement to Extend Wildlife Conservation Efforts on Working Agricultural Lands Regulatory Predictability Will Help New York Farmers Improve Wildlife Habitat Syracuse, N. Y., September 27, 2012- Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Chief Dave White and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) Director Dan Ashe announced an agreement that will provide long-term regulatory predictability for up to 30 years to New York State farmers and forest landowners participating in the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Working Lands for Wildlife (WLFW) Initiative. Participants voluntarily implement proven conservation practices designed to protect wildlife habitat for Golden Winged Warbler, New England Cottontail and Bog Turtle on private lands in critical habitat areas within New York State. This agreement provides New York State landowners with a way to keep working lands in production while complying with the Endangered Species Act (ESA), said Donald J. Pettit, New York State Conservationist. NRCS and FWS have come together to give landowners the predictability needed to manage their farms for both production and wildlife benefits. The agreement builds on a $33 million investment NRCS announced last spring dedicated toward producers who develop and implement conservation plans to manage and restore high-priority habitats for seven specific wildlife species across the country. The species are greater sage-grouse, New England cottontail, bog turtle, golden-winged warbler, gopher tortoise, lesser prairie-chicken and the Southwestern willow flycatcher. NRCS, FWS and numerous state and local entities are partnering to implement WLFW. NRCS, FWS and numerous other entities such as NYS Department of Environmental Conservation, local Soil and Water Conservation Districts, National Wild Turkey Federation, Ducks Unlimited and National Audubon Society are partnering to implement WLFW. With the current WLFW agreement, farmers, ranchers and forest landowners who implement and voluntarily agree to maintain the proven conservation practices in WLFW will have addressed the related ESA regulatory responsibilities for up to 30 years. These landowners will be able to operate their farms and ranches as agreed upon, providing economic benefits and species conservation simultaneously. Under the WLFW partnership, federal, state and wildlife experts jointly identified at-risk or listed species that would benefit from targeted habitat restoration investments on private lands. Using the best available science, these wildlife experts prioritized restoration actions on a large regional scale to focus assistance most cost effectively. The federal government will grant farmers, ranchers and forest landowners regulatory predictability in return for voluntarily making wildlife habitat improvements on their private agricultural and forest lands. Participating producers must adhere to the requirements of each conservation practice during the term of their contract, which can last from one to 15 years. If landowners would like to receive regulatory predictability for up to 30 years, they must maintain the conservation practices as outlined in the NRCS and FWS agreement.

Hello Cayuga Birders, Last night at dusk I heard the distinct thumping of wings. It was a regular beat not the crescendo decrescendo of a Grouse. Any ideas?
