The Hood River SWCD has $100,000 in grant funding available from the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board and is now accepting applications from landowners for projects that improve watershed health. Successful past projects have included: on- farm irrigation upgrades from impact to micro-sprinklers, fencing to exclude livestock from waterways, paddock footings, riparian plantings, erosion control projects, and many other projects which benefit natural resources. There is a 25% match requirement and the maximum amount granted is $15,000. The Hood River SWCD will assist landowners with developing project proposals.
