The public is invited to comment on environmental documents regarding the Shared Habitat Alliance for Recreational Enhancement (SHARE) program. The Department of Fish and Game’s (DFG) SHARE program provides monetary incentives to private landowners to allow public access for a variety of outdoor recreation activities including hunting and fishing.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture Farm Services Agency’s Voluntary Public Access and Habitat Incentive Program (VPA-HIP) has awarded DFG a grant in excess of $500,000 to operate the program. Grant funds will be used to expand the SHARE program by enrolling new properties and promoting the program statewide.
Public comments are needed on a Programmatic Environmental Assessment (PEA) and Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) regarding the operation of the SHARE program. Both the PEA and FONSI are posted on DFG’s website at www.dfg.ca.gov/news/pubnotice. Comments will be accepted until December 14, 2011 and should be submitted by e-mail to [email protected] or in writing to:
