California has lost 95% of its historic wetlands, but this doesn't have to be permanent. CWA is an accredited land trust that restores and maintains wetlands, and maximizes their value to wildlife.
Hunters are the driving force for wetland conservation. CWA works to ensure that Californians have adequate access to hunting lands, and that regulations and laws don’t stifle responsible, ethical hunting.
