inter <br /> The City and its West Eugene Wetlands partners submitted this grant proposal through the North American Wetlands <br /> Conservation Act program in early 2001. The proposal was reviewed and ranked against competing proposals throughout <br /> the United States. Funding for the program comes from sales of Federal duck stamps and other revenue sources. The <br /> U.S. Migratory Bird Commission gave the final approval for the funding at its March 13 meeting in Washington D.C. <br /> his grant follows a previous award of$900,000 for wetlands acquisition from the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board <br /> in early 2001, along with numerous congressional appropriations from the Land &Water Conservation Funds that have <br /> helped build the west Eugene wetlands that comprise Eugene's largest open space system. <br /> City of Eugene, BLM, and Nature Conservancy staff worked closely with the Fish &Wildlife's Pacific Coast Joint Venture <br /> program and the Oregon Wetlands Joint Venture program to create the proposal, which focus on waterfowl habitat <br /> enhancement and wetland protection. The land will be enhanced and restored in the future and managed jointly by the <br /> partner organizations.
