[ODF_Private_Forests] URGENT: Grant option for private forestlands

[WEEKS Kevin]

Private Forests News members:

This information is directed primarily for small woodland or non-industrial timber landowners.

The Oregon Department of Forestry will be submitting a statewide funding package proposal to NOAA Fisheries to participate in a national stimulus funding opportunity of $170 million contained within the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). Many stream projects on private forestlands qualify for this funding package.

ODF, in collaboration with the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board, intends to prepare a statewide grant proposal in response to this solicitation.  ODF is requesting a list of any habitat restoration projects you may have which may be eligible for funding.

Additional information - and project application forms - about this URGENT funding opportunity are available on the Oregon Department of Forestry's new Recovery Information page:
