Welcome Message
Reflect for a moment on what we’ve accomplished together through Fall Flights: wetlands and grasslands teeming with life, abundant waterfowl populations, hunters and wildlife watchers alike, inspired by the awe and wonder of migrations.
Now, let’s look ahead. The deadline for completing our State Wildlife Action Plan (SWAP) updates is fast approaching. Our SWAPs offer a unique opportunity to highlight the benefits our Fall Flights investments provide for many migratory bird species. As your state works on completing your SWAP, consider taking two steps:
- Incorporate migratory bird species that breed in Canada and migrate into or through your state in your State Wildlife Action Plans (SWAP).
-
Highlight Fall Flights in your SWAP to demonstrate your commitment to full annual-cycle bird conservation through investments in this partnership.
By working together, we ensure that future generations will experience the wonder of migration—not just for waterfowl but also for the many other species of migratory birds that share their habitats. Habitat conservation is at the core of the Fall Flights program, and we know that habitat is the tide that helps float all boats for a wide range of wildlife species.
