<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">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></span></p>
