flooded wetlands

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Central Region, along with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), will hold an online outreach meeting to take comments and recommendations from licensed hunters regarding hunting programs in the northern San Joaquin Valley. The meeting will include updates on habitat conditions and the availability of water for wetlands.

State lands to be discussed are the Mendota and Los Banos wildlife areas’ Volta, Salt Slough, China Island, Gadwall, Widell/Ramaciotti and Mud Slough units. Federal refuge personnel will also be available to speak about the Merced National Wildlife Refuge, including the Lone Tree Unit, as well as San Luis National Wildlife Refuge, including the Kesterson, Blue Goose, East and West Bear Creek and the Freitas units.

The meeting will be held using Microsoft Teams from 4:00-6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 28, 2024. Email Sean Allen at Sean.Allen@Wildlife.ca.gov for a link to attend and instructions on how to submit comments and questions.

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