Wildlife is one
of America's most treasured natural resources. Nearly 70 percent of this
Nation's wildlife habitat is interspersed over privately owned landscapes. For
over 60 years, the Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly the Soil
Conservation Service) has worked through 3,000 soil and water conservation
districts and other partners to assist landowners and managers with natural
resource problems and opportunities, including those associated with wildlife
habitat management.
