California Ricelands Waterbird Foundation Participates in Big Day of Giving on May 2

California Ricelands Waterbird Foundation Participates in Big Day of Giving on May 2

The annual Big Day of Giving (BDOG) is just around the corner on Thursday, May 2. The California Ricelands Waterbird Foundation appreciates being part of this great Sacramento area tradition, as our surrounding communities rally to support a variety of social and environmental causes.  

We’ll utilize this year’s BDOG donations to continue to expand our habitat enhancement activities for migratory waterbirds and struggling salmon populations here in the Sacramento Valley. We work closely with the State of California and many non-governmental wildlife organizations to leverage our donor funds to get even more conservation projects out on the landscape for our local wildlife.

We greatly appreciate every donation to our cause, because we know that our wildlife relies on all of us to help out to maintain quality habitat for them to thrive in our beautiful Sacramento Valley.

You can find a link our Big Day of Giving webpage right at the top of our Foundation Website. And, you don’t have to wait until May 2 to donate.  You can preschedule a donation at any time with just a few clicks, starting right here.

Rice Footprint Secures Broad Partner Support

We want to thank the following partner organizations for their support of the rice footprint report written by UC Davis earlier this year. As the report clearly states, working ricelands provide critical habitat in a state that has lost more than 90% of its once-abundant wetlands. Rice, especially rice flooded in the winter, is essential to more than 200 species and is the backbone of the Pacific Flyway.

Rice Levee, Road Edge, and Ag Corridor Program – Reminder

California Waterfowl Association (CWA) is currently 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).
