Protecting Nesting Bird Habitat on the Pacific Flyway

Registration Required: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_AYzcQ03gRHevTlCyjT3UXw

Have you ever driven along Highway 5 or 99 and noticed the flooded rice fields in the winter providing habitat on the Pacific Flyway? Join us in learning about how this program was developed and administered. Our presenter for this evening is Luke Matthews, who coordinates this program at the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.

The Nesting Bird Habitat Incentive Program was established in 2018 to address declines in breeding waterfowl and pheasant populations in California. This program is administered by CDFW and is entirely funded through fees that are collected from the sale of California Duck and Upland Game Bird Validations.

Luke will highlight how they are accomplishing their goals by monitoring breeding waterfowl and working with a wide range of stakeholders to improve key habitat conditions on public and private lands across the entire state. norcalwater.org
