OHA has been actively engaged with our conservation partners to help forge the way for both identifying critical wildlife crossing locations, and securing funding for construction of passage structures in Oregon.

The Watch for Wildlife license plate campaign, participation in a work group for HB 2834 to look at state funding sources, taking advantage of Secretarial Order 3362 for projects on Department of the Interior lands, and pressing for passage of the federal transportation bill that includes $100 million for wildlife crossings in the western U.S. are recent examples of our work.
