WASHINGTON, Feb. 21, 2023 – The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will invest more than $48.6 million this year through the Joint Chiefs’ Landscape Restoration Partnership for projects that mitigate wildfire risk, improve water quality, restore forest ecosystems, and ultimately contribute to USDA’s efforts to combat climate change. This year, the USDA Forest Service and Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) will invest in projects, including 14 new projects, bringing together agricultural producers, forest landowners, and National Forest System lands to improve forest health using available Farm Bill conservation programs and other authorities.

Restoring aquatic habitat in streams degraded by past human activities is an important component of conservation strategies for Eastern Hellbenders across the Appalachian Mountains of eastern North America. Recent work in Virginia’s Middle Fork Holston River found that restoration efforts placed heavily-degraded reaches of this waterway on similar habitat trajectories to nearby reference reaches with confirmed hellbender presence. These similarities remained following severe flooding from Hurricane Helene and an additional significant flood event in Winter 2025, indicating that restoration efforts may also help improve resilience to future disturbance events in impacted waterways.

Forum
In May 2016, 26 private landowners from across the country met in Denver, Colorado to talk with NRCS staff about what is working in the Working Lands for Wildlife partnership and what opportunities exist for improvement. Jointly coordinated by Partners for Conservation and NRCS, and including funding support from the Intermountain West Joint Venture, the 2-day
meeting provided a forum to share stories of success and challenges in order to maximize outcomes with future opportunities.
