Has anyone been put in place to manage the unit permanently? I was also told there was going to be a round table meeting after the season with a few select hunters and management to discuss off season projects to better the unit for waterfowl and hunters? I do understand the Covid 19 lock down might have erased that plan. just curious.
Wister Off Season?

New manager took over in December. Meeting went well. If you follow CWAs Facebook page they document the work they're doing. Not sure what the staff has done so far but the rain they've received will for sure cause delays. They had a solid list and a crew that wants to make improvements.

I was at the meeting as was Jeff (Mud Pigeon)….DFW management did NOT show up, we did have a teleconference call with Scott Sewell and Richard Kim...A lot was discussed and what realistically could be accomplished before next season...CWA like always, is doing ALL the heavy lifting.
The latest work is/was done in T-10, S20, and S22...There is a work party this Saturday.
PLEASE SUPPORT CWA

One of these years I’ll make a trip to the northern end of the valley.
The areas that were burnt right after season, W11A and 513B unfortunately were rained upon by another inch of water after burning which gave the tulies what they needed to sprout back up. Hopefully, with no more rain they will die back. The parking lot has been graded and silt removed. Gravel has been put in place. June 13th there will be a gathering at the Season Long Campground. If you would like to come out bring a BFH (Big F&^%ng Hammer) and join us in the fun. Afterwards we will stroll along the beautiful dikes for some shell hunting. They mowed in Y15A and the 514's

Thanks for the update. Sounds like a lot of good projects being completed. Definitely a huge improvement, it was in pretty rough shape last few seasons. Im really looking forward to getting down there.

Dirt work has been completed and final grade checks were wrapped up earlier this week! Water control structures and pipelines have been installed and tested. The parking lots within the T12 and S20/22 areas have all been graveled and ready for vehicle traffic. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife will be planting watergrass and millet in early August just in time for waterfowl season. The entire 434-acre restoration effort was funded by the Wildlife Conservation Board through a grant to California Waterfowl. The transformation of these public hunted areas will be on full display this fall!
Bring on the ducks!
