The Central Appalachian Mountains is a priority area for conserving golden-winged warbler, cerulean warbler and wood thrush. Funding will be targeted to the Appalachian Fish and Wildlife Conservation Office (AFWCO) to support projects implemented by the Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program (both AFWCO and WVFO) in West Virginia that support forest songbird conservation. Work will be conducted in partnership with the West Virginia Department of Natural Resources, Natural Resources Conservation Service, Appalachian Joint Venture, and others by providing non-NRCS cost share or by funding project that don’t qualify for Farm Bill funding.
