In some places landowners are offering, for a fee, hunt- 

 ing privileges on their combined ownerships. 



In other places, sportsmen are taking the initiative in 

 making arrangements with groups of landowners to use their 

 land for hunting. These arrangements often stipulate that 

 hunters will help with habitat improvement in the area. As 

 a result they have superior hunting with regulated access. 



Soil Conservation District and other local farm and ranch 

 organizations provide names of groups through which cooperative 

 hunting and fishing arrangements might be made. State wildlife 

 agencies may be able to help with such projects, too. 



Also, small watershed projects in many areas enable urban 

 and rural people to work together to make the best use of land 

 and water for recreation. 



Under the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act, 

 recreation can be one of the major purposes of a project. 

 The Federal Government can bear up to one-half the cost of a 

 reservoir, or other development needed for fish and wildlife 

 or recreation. Whether it is or isn't built for recreational 

 use, pools formed behind dams provide variety of fishing and 

 other waterbased sports. Many civic clubs and municipalities 

 have developed splendid camping areas, picnicking grounds, and 

 boat launching areas on the shores of watershed project lakes.
