The six IIJA/IRA focal areas

ODFW is focusing efforts in six key areas where additional funding could lead to great outcomes for fish and wildlife and for Oregon’s communities. Each focal area team has defined its role based on the specific needs of each project, and has been working to:

Engage diverse stakeholders.
Identify and align priorities with partners.
Provide technical and grant support.
Leverage additional resources.
Submit applications for projects throughout the state.

Wallowa River Fish Passage
and Flow Restoration

The goals of this effort are to provide upstream and downstream passage for migratory fish species in the Wallowa River system, including Wallowa Lake, and to upgrade irrigation infrastructure to restore instream flow benefits in the Wallowa River and tributaries.

Wildlife Habitat Restoration

This effort is focused on projects that help build resiliency to a drier and warmer future by restoring habitat structure and function, sustaining working lands, and allowing for the return of natural disturbance regimes in natural systems.

Connectivity and Wildlife Passage

Wildlife connectivity is significantly reduced by roadways resulting in habitat loss and fragmentation, injury and mortality, and behavioral avoidance. Wildlife crossing structures and associated directional fencing significantly reduce the impacts of roads on wildlife populations.
