The goal of The Snake River Wetland/Woodland/Wildlife Project is for farmers, anglers, and hunters to work
together to improve habitat for wildlife and improve farm management operations. Up to 100% financial assistance was offered to eligible farmers to demonstrate some of the following techniques: fencing or managing access to the Snake River and its associated wetlands, alternative livestock watering systems, protecting woodlands with fencing, and planting trees and shrubs. Twelve farms are highlighted with a farm description, the W3 project that was installed, and both the agricultural and environmental benefits expected from the project. |
