Waterfowl. Wetlands. Hunting.

"Our vision is a California with thriving waterfowl populations, vibrant wetland ecosystems and respected hunting communities."

CWA's Klamath commitment has never been stronger!

Klamath will always be a top priority for Cal Waterfowl. We remain focused on restoring the basin to its formal glory. Hear how CWA leadership is working on multiple fronts to provide a temporary and permanent water solution.

Mallard Egg Salvage

Farmers who enroll in the program allow us to sweep their fields for nests before harvest, or provide us with cartons to collect eggs as they harvest. We then take the eggs to permitted hatcheries.

INCENTIVE PROGRAMS

Now that Nesting Bird Habitat Incentive Program is funded through the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, California Waterfowl will be assisting the Department with implementation of the program.
