Partners for fish and wildlife
albuquerque, nm What is the Partners for Fish and Wildlife (PFW) Program? Our mission since 1987 (in NM since 1991) has been “to efficiently achieve voluntary habitat restoration on private lands, through financial and technical assistance, for the benefit of Federal Trust Species”. By working cooperatively with private landowners to restore and enhance habitat on private lands, the PFW Program helps reduce the reliance on regulation to achieve the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s mission of conserving Trust species and keeping common species common. We look for projects that improve or restore habitat components or functions, especially within a watershed or landscape context, minimize cost, and maximize partnerships. Projects specifically designed to benefit federally-listed species, tribal projects, and other projects with unique habitat components are given extra consideration in the ranking process. www.fws.gov/southwest/es/newmexico/PFW_home.cfm |

rough stone ranch
Navajo Nation Land South of Farmington, New Mexico The Range Management Unit (RMU) was established for Edwina Diswood’s maternal grandmother in the early 1990’s and was withdrawn from open grazing. The Range Management Unit’s exterior boundaries were fenced along with part of the interior cross fences. This grazing area was however not properly managed and livestock were allowed to graze with minimal oversight. The RMU and grazing permit was transferred to Edwina in late 2011. Since that time the Diswood family has put in additional fences, addressed infrastructure that had fallen into disrepair, began to address overgrazing and deteriorated land conditions, utilized NRCS EQIP to install water sources and qualified for the NRCS Conservation Stewardship Programs. The Diswood family has worked with Federal, Navajo Tribal, State, and other organizations to continue to improve the land within the RMU. Currently they have successfully implemented and continue to implement various conservation practices, rotational managed grazing program, a small permaculture project, and are working on increasing the available water for livestock use using water harvesting and seep developments. They are also working to implement projects that will benefit the wildlife and traditional usage of this land. The Diswoods have also had success in using the RMU as a model for other land users and permit holders. Their future goals are to implement a multi-species operation utilizing HMI practices to produce grass-fed livestock and other products for a successful reservation based livestock operation while maintaining respect for traditions and cultural practices and concerns. www.holisticmanagement.org/ogstone |
