Waterfowl. Wetlands. Hunting.

"A California with abundant waterfowl, vibrant wetlands, and thriving hunting communities."

Discover how California Waterfowl’s continued commitment makes an impact!

For 80 years, California Waterfowl (CWA) has been a steadfast advocate for California’s waterfowl hunters and a champion for the natural resources that make hunting possible. Through our dedication to Hunting, Education, Advocacy, Wetlands, and Waterfowl—our 5 Pillars—we continue to protect the future of hunting and conservation for generations to come.

1 million wood ducks and counting, a California Waterfowl Wood Duck Program story.

Follow along to one of the most inspirational stories of the largest volunteer-based conservation programs in the nation. The California Wood Duck Program is largely run by volunteers who over the thirty plus years have helped bring the wood duck population back to a thriving level across the Pacific Flyway!

Program Highlights

The California Waterfowl program is a great way to get involved in your community and make a difference.

730,000+

Acres protected, restored or enhanced.

312,000+

Ducks and Geese banded by CWA biologists.

1,000,000+

Wood Ducks hatched from nest boxes.

181,000

Students were taught about waterfowl, wetlands, and the role hunters play in conservation by our education department.

26,000+

Letters CWA members sent to legislators on the State and Federal level in support or opposition to new legislation.

28,000+

Hunters enjoyed private land hunts through the CWA Hunt Program. Over 500 Veterans participated at no cost to them.

MALLARD EGG SALVAGE

Farmers who enroll in the program allow us to sweep their fields for nests before harvest, or provide us with cartons to collect eggs as they harvest. We then take the eggs to permitted hatcheries.

INCENTIVE PROGRAMS

Now that Nesting Bird Habitat Incentive Program is funded through the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, California Waterfowl will be assisting the Department with implementation of the program.
