Ecosystem Restoration on Agricultural Lands (ERAL)

Program History

Under Proposition 84, the Wildlife Conservation Board (WCB) received $5,000,000.00 in bond funds to “Assist Farmers in Integrating Agricultural Activities with Ecosystem Restoration and Wildlife Protection”. This funding source provides WCB with the opportunity to work directly with farmers and other agricultural landowners to enhance habitat consistent with agricultural operations. The WCB seeks to collaborate with the agricultural community in identifying and implementing projects that provide long-term habitat benefits for wildlife, consistent with landowner objectives, including economic sustainability, and have the potential for replication on a statewide basis.
