The A&H program is funded by a $2 surcharge on hunting licenses. Funds raised by the program are distributed through grants to individuals and corporate landowners, conservative organizations, and others for wildlife habitat improvement and hunter access projects throughout the state.
The application deadline is Oct. 12, 2009.
The A&H Board is made up of seven citizen volunteers; three landowner representatives, three hunter representatives, and one public-at-large representative.

The Board reviews and recommends wildlife habitat improvement and hunting access projects to the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission.
Board members are appointed to four-year terms by the Commission. They meet four times each year in various communities throughout the state to review project funding applications, hear public testimony, act as liaisons between the program and the public, and attend to other program business.
People with an interest and experience in hunting and wildlife conservation are encouraged to apply. Please contact Heather Thomas at (503) 947-6314 or visit the ODFW website for an application.
