Habitat and fence projects represent targeted, on-the-ground conservation actions designed to improve wildlife habitat and support working landscapes.
The data shown in the Conservation Tracker includes habitat and fence projects supported through programs such as EQIP and WWNRT. Individual project records are not publicly available in their original form. Instead, project information is aggregated and summarized to provide landscape-scale context while respecting landowner privacy.
What This Data Represents
Habitat projects may include activities such as vegetation treatments, restoration actions, or habitat enhancements intended to benefit wildlife and ecological function. Fence projects generally focus on modifying, removing, or installing fencing to improve wildlife movement, reduce entanglement risk, or support compatible land management practices.
Projects displayed in this application reflect completed or active conservation work, but do not represent an exhaustive inventory of all habitat or fence efforts occurring across the landscape.
What Is Included
- General project type (habitat or fence-related)
- Approximate location or project area
- Associated conservation program or funding source
- Project status or timeframe, when available
What Is Not Included
To protect privacy and comply with data-sharing agreements, the following information is intentionally excluded:
- Exact project boundaries or coordinates
- Landowner names or parcel identifiers
- Site-specific monitoring results
How to Interpret This Information
The habitat and fence project data shown here is best understood as an indicator of conservation activity rather than a precise project inventory.
This information is intended to support high-level planning, collaboration, and transparency around conservation efforts, not regulatory enforcement or site-specific decision-making.
Updates and Maintenance
Habitat and fence project data is updated periodically as new information becomes available from partners. Update frequency may vary.
