The Wildlife Conservation Board protects, restores and enhances California’s spectacular natural resources for wildlife and for the public’s use and enjoyment in partnership with conservation groups, government agencies and the people of California.
The CRHCP targets the protection, preservation, and restoration of riparian habitats across California. It supports projects that restore riparian vegetation, re-establish floodplain connectivity, manage invasive species, install fencing for livestock or wildlife management, and reconfigure streams to restore natural hydrology and encourage the reestablishment of native riparian habitat. These efforts are crucial for maintaining the ecological and hydrological functions of riparian systems, including fish and wildlife habitats, water storage, flood control, nutrient cycling, water quality protection, and recreational and economic benefits.
