The impacted waterfowl programs are below (click the green font to learn more):
- California Wood Duck program – CWA staff, members and volunteers build, maintain and monitor wood duck nest boxes all over the state resulting in nearly 1 million ducklings hatched since inception of the program.
- Duck banding - California Waterfowl contributes to waterfowl research by banding as many as 9,000 ducks a year.
- Egg Salvage Program – we partner with wildlife-friendly farmers to salvage duck nests from their fields prior to normal farming operations that might destroy nests.
- Delayed Wheat Harvest Incentive Program - provides incentives for farmers to delay wheat harvest long enough to let ducklings hatch naturally and leave the field with their mothers.
- New Rice Levee Program - California Waterfowl’s Rice Levee Pilot Program pays rice farmers to provide waterfowl nesting habitat on their levees during the spring and summer.
