Shared Habitat Alliance for Recreational Enhancement (SHARE) Program

Program Overview

SHARE is designed to improve public access to private or landlocked public land. Participating landowners will be compensated with monetary payment and liability protection for providing access to or through their land for recreational use and enjoyment of wildlife. SHARE is funded with a Voluntary Public Access and Habitat Incentive Program grant through the USDA Farm Service Agency.

Recreational users can contribute to the success of the SHARE Program by obeying all CDFW regulations, as well as demonstrating courteous, legal, and ethical behavior.

Additional properties will be added as they become available. Please check back regularly.
