When the Oakland County Parks and Recreation (OCPR) millage was passed by voters in November 2020, a portion of the funds were allocated for high-priority invasive species projects across the county. Projects are intended to demonstrate best practices, treat high priority species, increase community awareness and/or improve habitat. Any Oakland County city, village or township (CVT) is eligible to apply. Please note that funds are not distributed to recipients. OCPR pays contractors directly for services to complete approved projects according to the project applications and budgets.
While this program is a great opportunity for CVTs to get assistance with high-priority invasive species projects, these funds are not meant to be inclusive of all invasive species-related projects in Oakland County and communities should strive to allocate dedicated funding to invasive species management and habitat improvement within their own jurisdictions.
The 2023 application period closed on March 17.
Eligibility
- Projects must be located in Oakland County, Michigan.
