CDFW Soliciting Hunter Input on Sacramento Valley Wildlife Areas, Federal Refuges

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), along with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), will hold an online outreach meeting to take comments and recommendations from licensed hunters on public land hunting programs in the northern Sacramento Valley. The meeting will also provide updates on habitat conditions, availability of water for wetlands, Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza and hunting access opportunities.

State lands to be discussed include the Gray Lodge and Upper Butte Basin wildlife areas, including the Little Dry Creek, Howard Slough, and Llano Seco units. Federal refuge personnel will speak about the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge Complex, including the Delevan, Sacramento, Colusa, and Sutter refuges.

The meeting will be conducted using Microsoft Teams on Tuesday, Aug. 27, 2024, from 4 to 6 p.m. Please e-mail the Gray Lodge Wildlife Area at glwla@wildlife.ca.gov for a link and instructions on how to submit comments and questions.

CDFW annually provides an opportunity for licensed hunters to comment and make recommendations on public hunting programs, including anticipated habitat conditions in the hunting areas on Type A wildlife areas through public meetings and outreach.
