Oak Woodlands Conservation

About this program

The Wildlife Conservation Board's Oak Woodlands Conservation Program provides $2,000,000 in funding for projects focused on conserving and restoring California's oak woodlands, emphasizing collaboration between ranchers and conservationists. Eligible applicants include nonprofits, public agencies, and tribal governments, with a statewide geographic focus. While cost-sharing is not mandatory, it can strengthen applications, particularly for larger projects, as it contributes to higher scoring in the evaluation process. A letter of intent is required, and inquiries should be directed to Jen Stanfield at 1-916-539-4868 or Jennifer.Stanfield@wildlife.ca.gov.
