Conservation
Conservation efforts explained
Critical deer habitat is adversely affected by California’s 35 million, and growing, population. Further encroachment causes a loss of wetlands, meadows, migration routes and forage. Your partnership assists us in conserving our ever shrinking natural resources by engaging in habitat restoration and improvement and land acquisitions to ensure the continued presence of our deer herds and other wildlife.
