Community Habitat Improvement Program (CHIPs) deadline

  • Date: 08/31/2025 5:00 PM  

When the Oakland County Parks (OCP) 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. 

Applications for Community Habitat Improvement Program (CHIPs) projects will be accepted through Aug. 31, 2025. 

Find out more about CHIPs, application process, deadlines and eligibility.
