Project description and location:

The MCCWA is located in Shasta County and totals 1,059 acres. The area has been acquired through a series of transactions by the Wildlife Conservation Board and California Department of Fish and Wildlife (Department).

The Department will use the LMP to help guide the specific tasks for managing the habitats, species, cultural resources, facilities, appropriate public uses, and various other activities that occur in the area.
