The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service awarded a $2,609,836 Formula Grant under the Wildlife Restoration and Basic Hunter Education program (CFDA 15.611) to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) on July 1, 2024. This grant supports CDFW's management of over 58,280 acres of wildlife habitat across seven staffed wildlife areas in northern California. The grant funding will be used to conserve, restore, and enhance habitats for wildlife, while also providing compatible public recreation opportunities such as hunting, fishing, and wildlife viewing. Key activities include implementing habitat restoration projects, conducting wildlife population surveys, and managing public access to the wildlife areas. The grant aligns with the objectives of the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act to restore and conserve wild birds and mammals and their habitats, as well as promote public engagement with natural resources.
