Statewide help to remove invasive trees
The law creates a statewide program to clear harmful trees and shrubs from Oklahoma watersheds. It covers species like salt cedar, redberry juniper, ashe juniper, and honey mesquite. A watershed now means any Oklahoma land that drains into a waterway, so more land can qualify. The Conservation Commission can set the rules and decide how the program runs. It offers cost-share help for burns, cutting, biological controls, and herbicides, and runs grants with local partners. It keeps at least two active project areas, one above and one below Canton Lake dam. The Commission also measures plant density and water lost and runs studies to track results.
New fund for watershed cleanup
The law creates the Water Restoration Revolving Fund. Money can come from state appropriations, federal grants, cities, private donations, and interest. The Conservation Commission can budget and spend the fund to remove harmful woody species statewide. The State Treasurer pays approved claims after state financial review.
