Around $3.4 million dollars have been allocated for habitat restoration projects through the DWR Habitat Council. “We are very appreciative of the hunters and anglers who are the backbone of wildlife conservation,” shares DWR Habitat Conservation Coordinator Daniel Eddington. “Anyone who buys a hunting and fishing license helps fund many of the crucial habitat restoration projects that help to maintain fish and wildlife populations for future generations to enjoy. Providing the necessary habitat for these species is crucial to their survival and requires ongoing restoration efforts as climate conditions continue to shift.” This year’s license sales totaled a little over $3.4 million and will help fund 88 projects. Among the projects will be improvements to wildlife and waterfowl management areas of which northeastern has several.
