By supporting nature-based restoration, improving wildlife habitat and reducing wildfire risk, the program is helping to build more resilient watersheds across the Colorado River Basin. Grantmaking through this program focuses on projects that support biodiversity, improve connectivity between streams and their floodplains, restore degraded wildlife habitat by removing invasive species or planting native species, improve breeding and nesting habitat for migratory birds, minimize fire danger and improve the resilience of watersheds, reduce streambank and soil erosion, and improve instream water quality, quantity and temperature.
