Deadline: 1-Sep-22
The Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board (OWEB) is seeking applications for its Land Acquisition Projects.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) National Coastal Wetlands Conservation Grant Program (NCWCGP) was established to acquire, restore, and enhance wetlands in coastal states through competitive matching grants to state agencies. The primary goal of the NCWCGP is the long‐term conservation of coastal wetland ecosystems. Only legislatively approved state agencies may submit applications to the NCWCGP. Since 2013, OWEB has been an approved agency.
OWEB serves as the official grantee of the federal award and makes the federal funds available to local conservation and restoration partners through sub-grants.
Eligible Projects
All projects must ensure long-term conservation. Eligible projects under the NCWCGP include:
- Acquisition of a real property interest (permanent conservation easement or fee title) in coastal lands or coastal wetlands ecosystems from willing sellers, and/or
- Restoration, enhancement, or management of coastal wetlands ecosystems.
Applications Process
Applications are accepted in the fall of each year and are submitted entirely through our online system. Deadlines will be posted once each grant offering opens.
