CDFW biologists announce the first capture and collar of a Sierra Nevada Red Fox in the southern Sierra.

CDFW recently completed helicopter capture operations resulting in the satellite collaring of five gray wolves in northern California.

As part of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s comprehensive strategy to restore and rebuild California’s salmon population, CDFW has selected 16 projects to receive funding for the restoration, enhancement and protection of salmon and steelhead (anadromous salmonid) habitat in California watersheds. The total funding for these projects amounts to more than $10 million in grant awards.

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) is initiating efforts in northern California to capture deer, elk and wolves by helicopter and outfit the animals with GPS collars.

Snorkeling in an isolated pool on Ackerman Creek north of Ukiah in June, Pinoleville Pomo Nation Environmental Protection Agency Water Resources Specialist Dakota Perez Gonzalez discovered young Coho salmon. These fish, as well as juvenile steelhead trout and Chinook salmon, were disconnected from surface water flow and other suitable habitat and likely to perish when the pool eventually dried up.
