Wildlife Corridor and Fish Passage

About this program

The Wildlife Conservation Board offers a $5 million grant program to support projects that enhance wildlife corridors and fish passage by constructing, repairing, or modifying infrastructure. The program prioritizes projects that address barriers exacerbated by drought, improve migration routes, and reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions, with a focus on sensitive species. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations, public agencies, and tribal governments. Priority is given to projects listed on CDFW's 2020 Wildlife Movement Priority Barrier List or 2019 Fish Passage Priority List, though other planning projects may also qualify.
