The fund represents the first step in implementing a strategy developed by partners with guidance from the Service to focus conservation in four key areas: clean water, habitat, recreation, and flow management. This map displays projects that have been awarded funding to date to help conserve and connect lands and waterways that support native fish, wildlife, and plants, and contribute to the vitality of the communities in the watershed.</p><p>This dataset represents the 30 projects awarded funding from the Delaware Watershed Conservation Fund in 2025 that will use the collective $12.5 million available through the fund, combined with $17 million in matching funds, to enhance water quality, water management, wildlife habitat, and recreational access across the region.&nbsp;</p> DelawareDWCFwatershedconservationNFWFgrant programprojectsNortheast This dataset represents the 30 projects awarded funding from the Delaware Watershed Conservation Fund in 2025. <p><span style='background-color:rgb(255,255,255); color:rgb(74,74,74); font-family:&quot;Avenir Next W01&quot;, &quot;Avenir Next W00&quot;, &quot;Avenir Next&quot;, Avenir, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, sans-serif; font-size:16px;'><span style='display:inline !important; float:none; font-style:normal; font-variant-caps:normal; font-variant-ligatures:normal; font-weight:400; letter-spacing:normal; text-align:start; text-decoration-color:initial; text-decoration-style:initial; text-indent:0px; text-transform:none; word-spacing:0px;'>Although these data and information have been processed successfully on a computer system at the USFWS, no warranty expressed or implied is made regarding the accuracy or utility of the data and information on any other system or for general or scientific purposes, nor shall the act of distribution constitute any such warranty.
