The Grant Program at OWEB manages how project applications are processed, reviewed, and recommended for funding to the OWEB Board, and how grants are tracked during their implementation. There are five general categories of projects eligible for OWEB funding.
1. On-the-ground watershed management (restoration, small grants and acquisitions)
2. Assessment and/or monitoring of natural resource conditions
3. Opportunities for learning about watershed concepts (education/outreach)
4. Watershed Council Support
5. Technical Assistance

The Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board (OWEB) officially announces the formation of a new Mid-Columbia management region. This region, also referred to as Region 6, encompasses six counties: Umatilla, Morrow, Gilliam, Sherman, Wheeler and Grant. The field office is located in Condon and is staffed by Sue Greer, the Regional Program Representative (RPR).

OWEB is pleased to announce the availability of this handy guide for people managing the removal of small dams in their watersheds. Author Denise Hoffert-Hay shares valuable insights and useful permitting information based on her experience managing the removal, in 2007, of the Brownsville Dam in the Willamette Basin's Calapooia Watershed.

OWEB will help celebrate Oregon's 150th birthday by funding projects to benefit the state's symbolic species.
