The purpose of the Oregon A&H Small Grant Application is to facilitate the funding of projects aimed at improving wildlife habitat and public hunting access in Oregon. Created by legislation in 1993, the A&H Program supports landowners, hunters, and conservation organizations in their efforts to enhance habitats and increase public access to private lands. This application form gathers essential information about proposed projects, ensuring that they meet the program's criteria and undergo a thorough review process. By submitting a detailed application, individuals and organizations can apply for funding to support a wide variety of habitat-centric projects. These may include wetland development, noxious weed control, wildlife forage improvement, water development in arid areas, riparian fencing, post-wildfire seeding, and seasonal road management. Accurate and comprehensive information provided on the form enables the A&H Board and Regional Advisory Councils to effectively evaluate each project's potential impact and alignment with program goals. Successful applicants contribute to Oregon's wildlife preservation and hunting opportunities, benefiting both local ecosystems and communities.
