NDWF's
Wildlife Habitat Program
The future of wildlife habitat; hunting, fishing and recreational access; soil health; and
rangeland health are important topics to discuss. NDWF is looking for public and private land partners in keeping North Dakota a success story in land management. We want to work with ranchers, farmers, businesses, hunters, anglers, wildlife enthusiasts, and all the
partners to create the legendary experience that only North Dakota can give. Contact us today to start a conversation on how we can keep this legacy strong.
Mission
North Dakota Wildlife Federation has funding to work on rangeland improvements and habitat work in North Dakota, with a special focus on Dunn and McKenzie Counties.
Our goal is to enhance the ecological balance and productivity of rangelands while supporting the natural habitats of wildlife species. By implementing rangeland improvement practices, we aim to increase biodiversity, improve soil health, and create
sustainable grazing systems for livestock.
Collaborating with landowners is crucial to achieving these goals, ensuring that the improvements made are beneficial to both the environment and agricultural operations.

-
Elimination of woven wire or other non-wildlife friendly fencing
-
Installation of wildlife friendly fencing.
-
