ODFW to Provide Free Wildlife Forage Seed for GP, Central Point, and Gold Beach Landowners

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife is giving away free wildlife forage seed to landowners in Grants Pass, Central Point, and Gold Beach.

Today, landowners in these areas will be eligible for two 15-pound bags of seed to cover at least one acre of habitat for wildlife.

Seed bags are available first-come, first serve. Bags can be picked up at Rogue Valley Secure Storage, 3591 Highland Avenue in Grants Pass, Denman Wildlife Area ODFW Office, 1495 East Gregory Road in Central Point, and the ODFW Gold Beach Field Office, 29907 Airport Drive in Gold Beach.

The seed is free thanks to generous donations from the Rogue Valley, Curry, and Josephine chapters of the Oregon Hunters Association, matched with federal funds granted to ODFW through the Pittman-Robertson Act’s Wildlife Restoration Program.

Productive wildlife habitat on private lands is an essential piece of the puzzle when it comes to ODFW’s mission of protecting and enhancing Oregon’s native wildlife populations.
