About – California Wildlife Foundation Home About Projects California Oaks Climate Science Alliance Publications Donate About Home About Projects California Oaks Climate Science Alliance Publications Donate California Wildlife Foundation (CWF) is committed to conserving, restoring, and maintaining habitats and corridor linkages throughout the state in order to ensure the biological diversity of species over time. Since 1990, CWF has administered large-scale acquisitions, ambitious land and water restoration projects, development of fishery and land management plans, and worked with its partners to maintain natural places for the benefit of people, plants, and wildlife. CWF participates in large and small education and outreach efforts that engage people in appropriate site-specific recreation and science-based learning. History and Scope California Wildlife Foundation (CWF) was created in 1990 by a group led by the then Natural Resources Agency Secretary to support the work of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (formerly California Department of Fish and Game). In subsequent decades, CWF expanded its reach to collaborate with federal, other state, regional and local agencies and to work with land trusts and other nonprofit organizations to implement wildlife and habitat projects for public benefit. CWF supports programs of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and its partners, manages funds designated to strengthen stewardship efforts and long-term management of publicly-held wildlife areas and reserves, facilitates the development of regional land and fishery management plans, utilizes sound land use and scientific practices in its conservation and restoration projects, and promotes the judicious and ethical use of California’s wild resources through educational and recreational activities that encourage people to appreciate, respect, and perpetuate the state’s rich diversity of plant and animal life. Mission California Wildlife Foundation is committed to conserving, restoring, and maintaining habitats and corridor linkages throughout the state in order to ensure the biological diversity of species over time. Services CWF’s primary role is to provide fiscal and administrative management services for agency-approved projects and programs. CWF’s project revenue comes from a variety of sources including grants, mitigation and program fees, contributions, and investments. In addition to supporting specific land and fishery projects, CWF provides assistance for scientific research, environmental education, and publications delivering conservation information and tools to businesses, schools, landowners, and community leaders. People A three-member board of trustees governs CWF and designates the organization’s executive officer to manage and implement the organization’s programs and resources.
