 | Animal Protection: Bird Habitat Protection Awarded $1 Million |
 The Nature Conservancy was awarded $919,774 in funds from the North American Wetlands Conservation Act to be used to protect and restore bird habitat on Virginia’s Eastern Shore. The funds are being matched by $2,419,000 from the Virginia Eastern Shore Land Trust, Eastern Shore Soil and Water Conservation District, The Nature Conservancy, and the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is also contributing $48,920 in nonmatching funds. The Delmarva Peninsula is a globally important coastal migration corridor for millions of birds, especially in the fall. The money will go toward protecting 772 acres of upland forest bird habitat and restoring 423 acres in Northampton and Accomack Counties. This is the third time the partnership has received Wetlands Conservation Act funding for conserving bird habitat. The partnership has protected or restored 10,770 acres of bird habitat on Virginia’s Eastern Shore.
