OWEB Funds Projects to Benefit Symbolic Species
Oregon will celebrate its 150th birthday in the year 2009. Planning for this event has already begun.
In September 2007, the OWEB Board allocated $1 million for a joint effort with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife to fund projects that will benefit Oregon's symbolic species, such as the state animal (beaver), the state fish (Chinook salmon), state bird (Western Meadowlark) and state insect (Oregon Swallowtail Butterfly).
The goal is to have the projects selected, and to the degree possible, completed by the time of the 2009 celebration. Access grant information and related details.
