A new habitat program to support Upper Cowlitz basin salmon and steelhead recovery
The 2024 CRR Grant Program is closed
Look for the next CRR Grant Program to open in early 2025.
The Cowlitz Restoration & Recovery (CRR) Program supports habitat projects in lieu of upstream volitional fish passage through the Cowlitz Hydroelectric Project.
This program is supported by a $17 million dollar program established by Tacoma Power Utilities to implement projects that protect and promote the recovery of ESA-listed Upper Cowlitz and Cispus River salmon and steelhead.
Schedule pre-proposal meetings by contacting Steve West.
Program Area
The Cowlitz Restoration & Recovery Program supports habitat projects in the Upper Cowlitz basin upstream of the Barrier Dam, and in the Lower Cowlitz mainstem river between its confluence with the Toutle River and the Barrier Dam.
