Rice Levee, Road Edge, and Ag Corridor Program Announcement
California Waterfowl Association (CWA) will soon be soliciting applications for the Rice Levee, Road Edge, and Ag Corridor Program. This program is funded by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, through the Nesting Bird Habitat Incentive Program, which pays private landowners 80 cents per linear foot for the management of their internal rice levees or road edges for upland nesting bird species (Mallard, Gadwall, and Pheasant). To participate in this program, vegetation on rice levees and roads must be left from the previous growing season. Enrolled areas must be left undisturbed until July 15th. To find out more about the program or to apply, visit the California Waterfowl Association’s website.
