Description of Program The Mississippi Partners for Fish and Wildlife
Partnership (MPFW) consists of 23 government and non-government organizations dedicated to delivering on-the-ground habitat conservation projects.
Wildlife Biologists from these organizations identify potential habitat projects and submit them to one of five habitat subcommittees for funding consideration.
MPFW was established over five years ago.

and wildlife habitat on privately-owned lands through voluntary partnerships with agencies, organizations, corporations, and private individuals
Accomplished through technical assistance and/or cost-share incentives.
Cost-share incentives are paid for habitat improvement practices such as tree establishment, prescribed burning, water control structures, etc.

Partners participating in the MPFW Partnership can direct their funding to a particular priority habitat group and/or a specific geographical location within a priority habitat group.
Funds from partners are usually held by Mississippi Wildlife Federation who send payments directly to enrolled landowners or contractors once projects are completed.
100 % of MPFW funds go towards habitat implementation.
MPFW is very flexible with how partners can contribute funds and how they are directed. This is why the Partnership is such an effective habitat delivery network in Mississippi.
