1 CONSERVATION AND PRIVATE LANDOWNERS: WATERFOWL HABITAT THROUGH A NEW LENS FoW2 Dave Smith & Dr. Mark Petrie September 26, 2017 Shepherdstown, WV
2 Overview The Private Lands Niche: Pragmatic Future Emphasis Area Working Lands Conservation: Building Support Beyond Birds Pacific Flyway Case Study: Thoughts for the Future: Through the Lens of the Landowner
3 Waterfowl Habitat Conservation Three Eras Citizen Biologist/Duck Club ( ) Government Takes the Stage ( ) Joint Ventures & Partnerships (1985-present) Source: Petrie et al, in prep
4 The Private Lands Reality JV Habitat Objectives Private Landowners are Decision-Makers: Perhaps the most important conservation supporters Harsh Realities o Duck Dollars are insufficient o o Traditional conservation programs have their limits Many factors in private lands decision-making; we focus on biological what s needed, what s right Bottom Line: Innovations in private lands conservation are needed to overcome funding limitations so we must focus on this frontier!
5 Relevancy & Private Landowners Relevancy and Public Engagement: Pragmatic and Emotional Ties Waterfowl Hunters, Birdwatchers, and Private Landowners Private Landowners: Duck Hunters and Agricultural Producers
6 Private Lands: Managed Wetlands Duck Clubs: Waterfowl hunters intensively manage vast amounts of private wetlands Motivation: High quality waterfowl hunting Challenge: Maintaining highly productive habitat conditions (e.g., moist-soil mgmt) Conservation Programs: These programs provide important financial incentives: NAWCA NRCS Wetland Reserve Program FWS Partners for Fish and Wildlife State Duck Stamp Programs
7 Working Lands Conservation: Agricultural Producers JV planning generally indicates we have enough habitat, today, to support waterfowl at NAWMP goal levels Certain agricultural lands meet waterfowl habitat objectives and produce food & fiber Agricultural producers cost-effectively provide the operations and management an important service to the American public!
8 Working Lands Conservation: Key Programs The Foundation NAWCA FWS Wetland & Grassland Easements FWS Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program Next Generation NRCS Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) = $1.5 billion/year NRCS Agricultural Conservation Easement Program = $500 million/year Industry Investments: Business Imperative
9 Pacific Flyway Case Study: Ranching is Integral to Waterfowl Habitat Conservation Spring Migration: Southern Oregon- Northeastern California (SONEC) Breeding Grounds: Prairie Canada
10 Pacific Flyway Case Study:
11 Pacific Flyway Case Study: % Use ~70% Use on Private Lands Northern Pintail Use by Ownership in SONEC Public Private
12 Pacific Flyway Case Study:
13 Pacific Flyway Case Study:
14 Pacific Flyway Case Study:
15 Pacific Flyway Case Study:
16 Pacific Flyway Case Study: Balancing Multiple Resource Concerns
17 Pacific Flyway Case Study: JV Science & Planning Habitat Objective: 64,700 acres
18 Pacific Flyway Case Study: JV Innovation Field Delivery Capacity: 2 new cost-shared Partner Biologists in NRCS Field Offices Science Capacity (JV wetland dynamics modeling) Communications Capacity (IWJV) Human Dimensions Project (IWJV, NRCS $) Working Wetlands Conservation Coordinator (NRCS, IWJV, FWS PFW) = ranching background
19 Pacific Flyway Case Study: SONEC Working Wet Meadows Initiative Flood-irrigation infrastructure improvement Working lands conservation easements Improve forage production and profitability Tell the story of multi-generational ranchers contributing to continentally significant waterfowl habitat conservation
20 Pacific Flyway Case Study:
21 Pacific Flyway Case Study: New Wetlands Conservation Funding Oregon NRCS EQIP = $400,000/year NRCS RCPP = $600,000/year Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board = $375,000/year Future Funding: The sky is the limit.even with no new duck dollars invested Key Point: The Initiative strengthens ranching!
22 Pacific Flyway Case Study: SONEC Objective: Grass on the landscape and keep ranchers ranching!! Approach: Help ranchers stay in the business of floodirrigating hay meadows through working lands conservation programs
23 Pacific Flyway Case Study: Prairie Canada Objective: Grass on the landscape and keep ranchers ranching!! Approach: Sustain grasslands by supporting ranching through working lands conservation programs
24 Thoughts for the Future: Conservation Through a New Lens Agricultural Landowner Perspectives Agricultural business model & profitability Heritage, culture, lifestyle centrality Generational transition challenges & objectives Proactive, voluntary conservation strategically implemented at large scales can alleviate the need for regulatory approaches Community..community..community!
25 Thoughts for the Future: Conservation Through a New Lens Working with Agricultural Landowners: A Changing Paradigm Old Ways: How can we get the most wildlife habitat from agricultural producers? The Future: How we can help support agricultural producers so that they are providing waterfowl habitat three generations down the line? Bottom Line: Take the time to understand, learn, and find ways to support landowner objectives.
26 Thoughts for the Future: Conservation Through a New Lens Industry Investments: Business Imperatives ConocoPhillips (CP) is a member of the Gulf Coast JV Management Board. CP is the single largest private wetlands owner in the U.S., with ~640,000 acres within the GCJV (CP Coastal Wetlands). Coastal Louisiana has lost 1,800 sq miles of land, CP is actively engaged in restoration on their Coastal Wetlands for many reasons, including a desire to be good environmental stewards and alignment with their business interests. CP's Coastal Wetlands objective is to restore their properties to a 1950s footprint. Healthy wetlands generate surface income and maintain access to mineral rights.
27 Thoughts for the Future: Conservation Through a New Lens Industry Investments: Business Imperatives The success or failure of voluntary private lands conservation can impact not only agriculture but also other industries Some energy companies are investing to enhance success of private lands conservation a solid business strategy to minimize risk of regulation Bottom Line: Think about how private lands conservation can be a business imperative
28 Thoughts for the Future: Conservation Through a New Lens NRCS: The Agency of the Future for NAWMP Farm Bill conservation programs ($5 billion/year) 85 years experience in private lands conservation Seat at the kitchen table with private landowners Bottom Line: Get to know your NRCS staff at the State Office, Area Office, and Field Office levels
29 Thoughts for the Future: Conservation Through a New Lens Future Waterfowl Conservation Professionals Range conservationists Agronomists Hydrologists Bottom Line: Find people with a deep passion for what matters to private landowners
