Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination

In accordance with the SRS Act, Title II Special Projects must provide additional investments and create additional employment opportunities that will improve the maintenance of existing infrastructure, implement stewardship objectives that enhance forest ecosystems, and restore and improve land health and water quality. Eligible entities may apply for SRS Act Title II Special Project funding when eligible proposals are located on or will benefit BLM-administered lands in Benton, Clackamas, Columbia, Coos, Curry, Douglas, Jackson, Josephine, Klamath, Lane, Lincoln, Linn, Marion, Multnomah, Polk, Tillamook, Washington, and Yamhill counties, Oregon. In addition, Title II of the SRS Act requires all Special Project proposals to be reviewed by the BLM’s Western Oregon Resource Advisory Committee (RAC) and for the RAC to provide the BLM with their Special Project funding recommendations before the BLM Western Oregon RAC’s Designated Federal Official can formally approve funding for any of the eligible Special Projects.
