California State Parks Announces $1.8 Million in Local Projects SACRAMENTO – Today, California Department of Parks and Recreation Director, Major General Anthony L. Jackson USMC, (Ret.) announced selections for $1.8 million in funding for 15 local park projects under the Habitat Conservation Fund Program. This State program provides funding to cities, counties, and eligible districts through a competitive application process. The Habitat Conservation Fund Program provides funding for projects to acquire wildlife and plant habitat, wildlife corridors, and urban trails; to enhance or restore wetlands, riparian, or anadromous fish and trout habitat; or for programs, which bring urban residents into park and wildlife areas. The program requires a dollar-for-dollar match. Under provisions of State law, the program is administered by the Director of the California Department of Parks and Recreation. The California Wildlife Protection Act of 1990 defines the Habitat Conservation Fund, which will continue through June 2020.
