The Watershed Stewards Program (WSP) is dedicated to improving watershed health by actively engaging in restoration science, civic service, and community education while empowering the next generation of environmental stewards.

 
Apply to be a WSP Corpsmember

Apply to be a WSP Placement Site

WSP does this by placing its Corpsmembers with scientists (Mentors) at environmental organizations (Placement Sites) around the state to assist with watershed data collection and analysis, as well as restoration project development and maintenance. Ultimately, Corpsmembers serve with WSP to help bring threatened and endangered salmonids back to healthy populations by improving watershed health.
WSP Corpsmembers also provide watershed education to students at lower-income public schools using the program’s watershed science curriculum. They also recruit community volunteers to tackle watershed projects that local organizations might not otherwise have the resources to complete.

Funding for Local Governments — California Climate Investments
Open funding opportunities for local governmentsExplore programs that are now accepting applications for grants, loans, incentives, and more.

All Programs

Equitable Building Decarbonization Program

The Equitable Building Decarbonization Program funds two efforts: the direct install program and an incentives program. Both programs incentivize installation of all-electric appliances, energy efficiency and weatherization measures, and related building upgrades.

Organics and Recycling Manufacturing Loans

Loans to fund construction, renovation, or expansion of facilities for preprocessing, digesting, or composting organics, or the preprocessing or manufacturing of value-added finished products using recycled fiber, plastic, or glass.

Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program

Transformative capital improvements that are modernizing California’s intercity, commuter, and urban rail systems, bus and ferry transit systems, to significantly reduce GHG emissions, vehicle miles traveled, and congestion.

Climate Ready Program: Nature Based Sea Level Rise Adaptation Projects

Natural shoreline projects that restore wetlands, watersheds and coastal habitats, and conserve land. Projects protect existing natural lands, restore or enhance habitats to enhance resilience to climate change for wildlife, maintain vegetative communities that sequester carbon, and provide habitat stability and resistance to natural disasters such as flooding, wildfire, or protection from sea level rise.

Climate Ready Program: Public Infrastructure Sea Level Rise Projects

Protects communities and natural resources from sea level rise, with a focus on adaptation of public infrastructure along the coast including urban waterfronts, ports, and ecosystems.

Coastal Resilience Planning

California Coastal Commission projects facilitate GHG emission reductions through land use and planning to address the impacts of climate change through the development of new or amendment of existing Local Coastal Programs, which are local land use plans for the coastal zone of California.

Clean Off-Road Equipment Voucher Incentive Project

Vouchers toward the purchase of zero-emission equipment used in off-road freight transport (such as forklifts, transport refrigeration units, gantry cranes, and terminal trucks).

Clean Truck and Bus Vouchers (HVIP)

Vouchers for the purchase of zero-emission, trucks and buses, including funding for charging or fueling infrastructure.

Environmental Protection Fund (EPF)

Important LinksOpen Space Funding from EPF

 New York State's Environmental Protection Fund (EPF) is a source of funding for capital projects that protect the environment and enhance communities. Capital projects are usually large projects that purchase land or construct facilities. Most projects that receive grants of EPF money combine it with other funding sources that require matching funds. Some examples of projects using EPF money are: Purchasing land for the NYS Forest Preserve Restoring historic sites Conserving farmland Restoring habitat Controlling invasive species Upgrading municipal sewage treatment plants Cleaning up waterfront property and creating a public park Helping business develop ways to recycle material The EPF also supports the stewardship of public lands, including state parks and millions of acres of public lands throughout the state. Through partnerships with volunteer organizations, state agencies use stewardship funding to manage trails and lands, protect natural resources, preserve wildlife habitats, make critical capital improvements at parks and campgrounds, educate students about conservation and provide access to persons with disabilities. Read the EPF 20th Anniversary Report (PDF) to learn about all the great projects that have been accomplished using this dedicated funding. History Created by the state legislature in 1993, the Environmental Protection Fund is financed primarily through a dedicated portion of real estate transfer taxes. The EPF has gradually grown from its original appropriation of $31 million in fiscal year 1994-1995. Over the past 20 years, the EPF has provided more than $2.7 billion for a variety of environmental projects. As a trust fund created in state law, these resources must be kept separate from other state monies. Former Governor Andrew Cuomo recognized the 20th anniversary of the Environmental Protection Fund, noting "Smart EPF investments in communities across the state are protecting New York's air, land, water and natural resources, helping to expand recreation opportunities that attract tens of millions of visitors each year and promote economic development."
