We have received text from S. 5711: National Wildlife Refuge Habitat Partnership Act. This bill was received on 2026-11-10, and currently has 1 cosponsor.

Here is a short summary of the bill:

This bill would give the Secretary of the Interior, through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, new authority to make contracts or agreements with outside partners to help manage habitat in units of the National Wildlife Refuge System.

What kinds of partners could be involved

The bill defines eligible entities broadly. These could include:

• State, local, or territorial governments
• Indian Tribes and Tribal organizations
• Businesses
• Nonprofit organizations, including “Refuge Friends” groups
• Other public or private entities that the Secretary determines can help meet habitat goals

What activities could be covered

The agreements could cover a wide range of habitat management activities intended to create, maintain, improve, or restore habitat for fish, wildlife, or plants. Examples listed in the bill include:

• Mowing, discing, tilling, planting, and seeding
• Spraying and other vegetation management
• Operating wells, pumps, and water delivery or control structures
• Irrigation work
• Actions that support bird recruitment on breeding grounds
• Reducing hazardous fuels, including prescribed fire
• Establishing native vegetation
• Managing invasive species and wildlife disease
• Protecting species of concern, including threatened and endangered species
• Other activities the Secretary determines improve fish and wildlife habitat

Where the authority would apply

The authority would apply to units of the National Wildlife Refuge System, but not to:

• Areas in the National Wilderness Preservation System
• Land where vegetation removal is prohibited or restricted by law or presidential proclamation
• Wilderness study areas

Conditions on these agreements

Any habitat work done under the bill would have to be:

• Directed by the staff responsible for managing that refuge unit
• Consistent with the refuge’s approved conservation or management plan
• Consistent with existing legal requirements, the refuge’s purpose, the overall refuge mission, and standards for biological integrity, diversity, and environmental health

Money and payments

The bill would also let the Secretary collect money under these agreements if doing so is a secondary part of the deal and helps achieve the bill’s goals. Any money collected would:

• Be kept by the Secretary
• Be available for use at the refuge where it was collected, or at another refuge unit
• Supplement, not replace, regular annual funding for the Fish and Wildlife Service
• Remain available until spent

The bill also says that the value of services received, and any payments or resources provided under these agreements, would not count as money received from the refuge system for certain legal purposes.
