Urban Wildlife Refuge Partnership

The purpose of this modification is to provide additional funding to the Five Star-Urban Waters grant program managed by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF). NFWF will use this funding to support an Urban Refuge focal area in the competitive Five Star-Urban Water grant program. Through this program, NFWF will solicit projects from state and local governments, non-profit organizations, Tribes, and academic institutions to support the proposed standards of excellence for Urban Wildlife Refuges with an emphasis on urban bird conservation.
