Introduction

This page contains resources for grants and funds specifically for salmon restoration, water quality, and watershed planning. It also lists local government funding sources (generally fees) used to provide revenue for conservation.  This is not a complete list, only those noted. Other funds for stormwater, sewer, and other public infrastructure which relate to water or environmental quality can also be considered as fund sources for habitat restoration.
