California Deer Association
Projects

The mission of the California Deer Association is to improve California deer populations and other wildlife through financial support from the public. To accomplish these ends the CDA awards funds to organizations, both public and private, which have proposed projects that support habitat restoration and improvement, research, education as well as securing conservation easements and land acquisition. Examples of some of the projects that have been funded include;

Habitat: Prescribed burns, installation and repair of wildlife waters sources, restoration and revegetation of Aspen groves, which provide key fawning grounds for does. See some of the Habitat Projects the CDA has supported, as well as current projects that are underway....

Research: Collection of DNA samples, use of radio collars to track deer movement and behavior, use of ultrasonography to study the progress of pregnant does. The CDA Project Committee has awarded funds to secure the technology and equipment necessary to collect important data on California's deer herds to understand where they are now and how to better manage them for the future. See some of the Research Projects the CDA has supported, as well as current projects that are underway...

Education: The CDA is very involved in supporting and sponsoring outdoor education that promotes responsible use and respect of our natural resources and teaches people the importance of preserving California's natural heritage today and for the future. Outdoor education courses are held at the local chapter level throughout the state and the CDA Project Committee has also sponsored independent education projects that share our mission. See some of the Education Projects the CDA has supported, as well as current projects that are underway...

Local Projects: The CDA has 17 chapters throughout the state, each of which is supported by groups of volunteers who donate their time and resources to helping the CDA accomplish its mission. Local chapter projects take on a variety of forms, from habitat improvement to education. See what our local chapters have been doing to help California's deer and other wildlife...
