The Clean Ohio Fund is a state conservation program administered through the Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC) that awards funding to preserve open spaces, sensitive ecological areas, and stream corridors. Funding announced in 2023, totaled $1,669,574 and for Round 19 funding approximately $4 million is expected to be available for project awards.
