The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) invites the restoration community to participate in two upcoming workshops focused on restoration granting and permitting under its current Cutting the Green Tape initiative. The first meeting will provide an overview of CDFW’s planned Summer 2021 Grant Solicitation which will focus on four watersheds within CDFW’s North Coast Salmon Project and will pilot efficiencies developed under Cutting the Green Tape. The second workshop will focus on restoration permitting, including an overview of existing and new project-specific permitting options and case studies, led by CDFW permitting specialists.
These workshops will provide an opportunity to provide the public an update on CDFW’s Cutting the Green Tape initiative, a collective effort to develop and implement improvements to our support of ecosystem restoration, including granting and permitting processes.
