The Wildlife Conservation Board of California (WCB) approved $18.8 million to help restore and protect fish and wildlife habitat throughout California at its late November meeting.
Twenty-one funded projects will provide benefits to fish and wildlife species, and provide public access opportunities to important natural resources. The funds for all of these projects come from recent bond initiatives approved by the voters to help protect California’s natural resources.
