About the Grant:

WCB’s Habitat Enhancement and Restoration Program (HERP) funds planning and implementation projects that restore/enhance habitat statewide (e.g., riparian, wetland, oak woodland, grassland, instream/fish passage, corridors). Eligible applicants are public agencies, tribes, and qualified nonprofits; projects often emphasize biodiversity, climate resilience, connectivity, and benefits to disadvantaged communities. Grants may support design, permitting, construction, monitoring, and stewardship components, with land tenure and CEQA requirements. Solicitations are periodic; proposals are reviewed by WCB/CDFW and approved at public board meetings. LA County jurisdictions and partners are eligible for projects within the county’s watersheds and habitat cores. Because this is an evergreen program page, treat it as multi-opportunity; confirm current PSNs, timelines, and any match expectations in the latest call and board agendas.

Key Dates, Deadlines, and Events:

No fixed deadline; solicitations/board calendars govern submission.
