There are 22 bird habitat JVs in North America, and our JV, the Upper Mississippi/Great Lakes Region Joint Venture (UMGL JV) is located in the Midwest, in a pivotal location in the Mississippi Flyway, for people involved in migratory bird conservation. We are a collaborative, regional group of government agencies, tribes, nonprofit organizations, corporations, universities, and individuals that conserve habitat for the benefit of migratory birds, other wildlife, and people. Our landscape includes eastern Minnesota; all of Wisconsin and Michigan; eastern Nebraska and Kansas; western, southern and eastern Iowa; northern Missouri, Illinois and Indiana; and northwestern Ohio.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Links:&lt;br&gt;To download the zipped File Geodatabase of this Polygon Feature Class dataset, related metadata, and documentation, please contact us.&lt;br&gt;To view and explore this Polygon Feature Class dataset and related data, please visit the online experience of the UMGL JV Decision Support Tools (https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/ed8c03d3bf724536b20c6f46ba1d41f6)&lt;/p&gt;</idAbs>
