California Waterfowl is an award winning 501(C)(3) nonprofit, hunter-supported conservation organization. We envision a California where wetlands teem with wildlife, waterfowl thrill us with breathtaking abundance and hunters are a respected force for conservation and sustainability. In the last 20+ years, we’ve completed more than 1,240 individual projects to protect, restore, and enhance more than 454,000 acres, providing habitat for millions of birds and animals. Our Wood Duck Program has hatched more than 810,000 ducklings, while our Banding Programs have marked more than 242,000 waterfowl. Our Youth and Education Programs have reached more than 300,000 children and young adults to help to create a better understanding of biology, conservation, and outdoor heritage. All efforts are supported largely by donations and the work of over 1,500 dedicated and tireless volunteers.
