NFWF is soliciting proposals for the Northeast Forests and Rivers Fund (NFRF) to restore and sustain healthy rivers, forests and grasslands that provide habitat for diverse fish and wildlife populations. The program will advance this goal by investing in projects that:
- Restore the quality and connectivity of stream and riparian habitats with a focus on improving habitat for river herring, Atlantic salmon, brook trout and wood turtles;
- Improve management of forest blocks to enhance age and structural diversity, resulting in improved forest conditions for native wildlife, with a focus on improving habitat for golden-winged warbler and New England cottontail; and,
- Promote hayfield management that allows for successful grassland bird breeding, with a specific focus on habitat for bobolink.
