Fund Program for the Santiago Park Nature Reserve Wilderness Resources

DISCUSSION
The Habitat Conservation Fund Program was established under the
California Wildlife Protection Act of 1990 and provides funds for
enhancement, restoration and interpretation of riparian habitats
throughout the State. Approximately $2 million will be available this
funding cycle. The application requires a 50-percent match of non-State
money. Applications are due on October 1, 2007.
The Santiago Park Nature Reserve Wilderness Resources Connection and
Protection Education Program is designed to introduce Santa Ana youth to
wilderness resources, emphasize the important benefits those services
provide, and to educate residents on how best to visit, protect and
restore wilderness resources both locally and regionally. The program
will be conducted from the Santiago Creek Wildlife and Watershed Center
and will include field trips and group presentations that focus on plant
and animal identification, habitat restoration techniques, wilderness
ethics, and camping and outdoor skills.
