The Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board cares about and invests in the long-term health of Oregon’s watersheds, both on the land and in the water that flows through it. Together with local partners across the state of Oregon, we invest funds from Lottery, General Fund, federal Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Fund, Salmon License Plates, and other sources in local communities. These funds help protect and restore healthy watersheds and natural habitats that support thriving communities and strong economies. Through all of our work, we are dedicated to the belief that:
- Healthy watersheds sustain healthy communities.
- Every Oregonian plays a role in the health of our watersheds.
- It takes broad partnership to support resilient watersheds.
- Improving our watersheds requires taking the long view.
OWEB grant funding investments are tracked across Oregon's 36 counties.
The total of all fund sources from
1999 to 2023 is $837.4 million.
