San Jacinto WA Revitilzation 7/27/07 Part I

The San Jacinto Wildlife Area near Riverside CA along with the California Waterfowl Association (CWA) is doing some major reconstruction on their water delivery system and habitat this year. We interviewed the crew today to show everyone the progress.

Scott Sewell is the boss man, Tom Trakes is the man in the ditch explaining the water pipe repair and Lupe and Josh are the other 2 from the crew.

Established in the 1980s, San Jacinto Wildlife Area (WA) is a key resource for the region, with over 9,000 acres of wildlife habitat that draw more than 25,000 public visitors each year. It provides a variety of outdoor experiences, including wildlife viewing, hunting, and hiking.

CWA and the California Department of Fish and Game (DFG) are teaming up to restore more than 300 acres of property recently purchased by the California Wildlife Conservation Board (WCB) and improve more than 220 acres of existing wetlands on the WA. Grants were awarded by WCB and the National Park Service Land and Water Conservation Fund. Thanks to their generosity, work being done now will substantially increase the amount of wetland habitat available to wildlife.
