CONSULTING SERVICES
Since 1992, California Waterfowl Association has
completed over 500 individual projects to protect, restore, and
enhance more than 300,000 acres of wetland, riparian, and upland
habitat statewide. CWA specializes in developing cooperative partnerships
to maximize project funding while reducing each participating agency
or individual’s contribution.
 Consulting
and Grant Writing Services
CWA has extensive experience in writing and obtaining government
and foundation grants for conservation easements and habitat restoration
and enhancement projects. All CWA members are entitled to one free
site visit and consultation. CWA biologists will assist with and
explore project possibilities and suggest future courses of action.
Elevation Surveys
In most cases all you need to know is that water runs down hill,
but when working over large areas and with complex irrigation systems,
things are not always that simple. CWA uses state-of-the-art GPS/GIS
equipment to accurately document existing field conditions. This
information is used to produce topographic maps for designing the
infrastructure necessary to precisely manage water and habitat.
Design
and Engineering
CWA biologists boast a diverse background of experience in hydrology,
ecology, botany, geology, fisheries, and wildlife conservation and management.
Our staff is capable of delivering high quality wetland, riparian,
and upland habitat project designs.
Project
Management
With over 500individual projects completed, CWA is known for its
expertise in the field. Coordinating complex multi-agency and landowner
construction projects can be a daunting task. CWA has proven itself
to be a costeffective and efficient alternative to more expensive
environmental consulting firms.
Habitat
Technical Assistance
Sometimes the “add water and stir” method works; but,
in most cases it does not. Managing habitat and water can be tricky.
Building an ideal water management infrastructure and planting the
right plant species doesn’t necessarily guarantee high quality
habitat and wildlife use. At CWA, qualified and experienced biologists are available to ensure the establishment of desirable
vegetation and to maximize wildlife use.
