<p class="MsoNormal">The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) and Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) have allocated billions of dollars towards natural resource conservation and management. This is a once in a generation opportunity to take advantage of the large
amount of federal dollars available to successfully fund the state’s priority natural resource needs and build a more resilient Oregon in the face of a changing climate. In order to help maximize the amount of federal funding coming into Oregon, the Governor’s
Office will share available natural resource-related BIL and IRA grant opportunities, build partner collaborations, and outreach successes through this mailing list. By working together, we will increase the amount of federal funding received and have a substantial
positive impact on our ecosystems and communities.<b><o:p></o:p></b></p>
