Bill overview
This bill authorizes a pilot program run by the Secretary of the Interior to provide grants and technical assistance for habitat restoration projects aimed at protecting shorebirds, waterfowl, and other wetland-dependent birds in the Pacific Northwest. The program, called the Northwest Wetlands Voluntary Incentives Program Act, will focus on the Columbia River Basin and the Oregon and Washington Coastal Zone, encouraging eligible entities like government agencies, tribes, and landowners to restore and maintain vital habitats. The program prioritizes projects that address habitat loss and limited public access, and requires a non-Federal contribution to each grant.
