Last year,
ERWIG applied for project funding for numerous projects ranging from
road erosion assessments to in stream salmon habitat
structures.
In order to pay for these projects, we
must submit applications to various funding sources, such as the CA
Department of Fish and Game, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and
the National Resource Conservation Service, among others.
All of the applications received by each organization for a
funding cycle are reviewed, and the best projects that fall under
the total program budget are selected for funding. Depending
on the funding organization, it can take up to a year from
application submittal to discover which projects have been
selected. ERWIG is in that boat right now, waiting to hear
back from the numerous groups to which we have submitted
proposals.
We expect to have word within the next
month or so, in order to have time to coordinate the various stages
of project activity. We look forward to a busy summer, and
hope that we can use the resources we are granted to make a
significant positive change in our local streams.
