Wetlands provide essential services to Oklahomans, including improving water quality, reducing flooding, recharging aquifers, and providing recreational opportunities. However, wetland restoration can be costly and require technical expertise, making it inaccessible to most Oklahomans.

OCC’s Restoring Natural Ecology in Wetlands (ReNEW) Cost-Share Program offers technical and financial assistance to landowners interested in restoring, creating, or enhancing a wetland on their property.

The program is available state-wide, and applicants may receive funding for up to 80% of total restoration costs up to $35,000 per project.

The 2026 Application Period opens January 1, 2026.

Applications can be submitted through the landowner’s local conservation district or sent directly to [email protected].
