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;

 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... |

Habitat:
Prescribed burns, installation and repair of
wildlife waters sources, restoration and revegetation
of Aspen groves, which provide key fawning grounds
for does. 
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.
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.
