The Biden administration is partnering with six environmental and conservation advocacy groups as it aims to advance conservation in the Western U.S., it said on Tuesday.  The Bureau of Land Management will use $28 million in funds from the Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act for conservation on public lands.  It will partner with groups including the Nature Conservancy, as well as those focused on issues such as hunting, fishing and native plants. The projects funded under the program will aim to restore western watersheds, conserve habitat for the mule deer and sage-grouse, remove or modify fences and assist a Navajo native plant program. The partnership agreements “will put people to work on our public lands, helping the BLM restore lands from sagebrush, to forests, to grasslands and desert ecosystems,” said Bureau of Land Management director Tracy Stone-Manning “This will benefit Americans that recreate on our public lands, local communities, tribes and of course, the natural resources we all rely on,” she said.
