Central Hardwoods Joint Venture

Members of the Central Hardwoods Joint Venture (CHJV) formed a partnership, beginning in 2000, with the primary purpose of elevating emphasis on all-bird conservation within the Central Hardwoods Bird Conservation Region (CHBCR). This new partnership seeks to take a lead role in implementing "all-bird" conservation objectives as set forth by the various national and international bird conservation initiatives operating within the North American Bird Conservation Initiative (NABCI). 

The plan is intended to impart the Joint Venture's long-term vision for all bird conservation within the Central Hardwoods Bird Conservation Region. It also provides a synopsis of the partnership's activities to date, and identifies immediate priorities to establish and define the biological foundation, conservation design, and conservation delivery needs of the Central Hardwoods.
