Cannabis Restoration Grant Program

California's fish and wildlife are severely impacted by illicit cannabis cultivation practices including unlawful water diversions for irrigation, conversion of lands, poaching, and use of prohibited herbicides, rodenticides, and other environmental contaminants. Learn about how cannabis cultivation can impact the environment. 

Currently, the Cannabis Restoration Grant Program has the opportunity to grant funds in support of partnerships to clean-up, remediate, and restore watersheds affected by cannabis cultivation, and related activities.  The Cannabis Restoration Grant Program: Updates and Opportunities video provides general CDFW Cannabis Program background and build-out followed by an overview of the Cannabis Restoration Grant Program, with details regarding available and developing funding opportunities. Completed projects are also highlighted in video.

The Cannabis Restoration Grant Program has released a NEW Cleanup, Remediation, and Watershed Enhancement Funding Opportunity (PDF) and an UPDATED Qualified Cultivator Funding Opportunity (PDF)! All information regarding both of the listed funding opportunities is directly from the California Dept. of Fish & Wildlife.
