Migratory Bird Habitat Initiative

Through the Migratory Bird Habitat Initiative, NRCS will work with farmers, ranchers, and other landowners to develop and enhance habitat for birds making their annual migration south towards the Gulf of Mexico. NRCS will partner with producers to manage portions of their land to provide additional food and habitat for migrating birds. NRCS will provide financial and technical resources to agricultural producers to install practices which control water levels and enhance habitat to attract migratory birds.  To achieve these goals, Texas is offering the following practice:

• Shallow Water Management for Wildlife (practice code 646)

Financial assistance will be made available through the Environmental Quality Incentives Program and the Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program. Funding through this initiative is available to landowners in Texas, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Missouri.
