Valley
Waterfowl works throughout the Pacific Flyway, with our home office
located in Lodi, California
which is in the heart of the San Joaquin Delta. We were founded in 2003
by a group of hunters who wanted to increase hunting opportunities for
waterfowlers throughout the Pacific Flyway, while increasing waterfowl
numbers.
Influencing
the future…
Valley Waterfowl strongly believes that the
key to a successful hunting season starts with good habitat. Because of
this we are involved with area landowners to help increase their habitat
for wintering waterfowl. This is done by constructing and maintaining
nesting huts and wood duck boxes, as well as educating them on how to
better maintain their land, in ways which would benefit waterfowl.
Involving
our youth
We feel that the youth of today are very
important to the future of waterfowl hunting, and thus we support and
promote youth involvement by offering free hunter safety courses to our
members. We plan to participate in youth hunt days as well as keeping
the youth involved in our nesting projects. In a day and age of growing
youth delinquency, we strive to instill our youth with good values and a
positive understanding of nature.
Keep
it local!
All proceeds of Valley Waterfowl
work to support local projects. Our funds are used to benefit our
members and waterfowl throughout the region. Unlike similar
organizations we believe that our members deserve to see and locally
benefit from their contributions. The innovative idea behind Valley
Waterfowl, which separates it from other organizations, is not only its
focus on the preservation of local wetlands but also the
organization’s emphasis on promoting continued and new opportunities
for local hunters to enjoy our hunting heritage.
Making
a difference…
The involvement of hunters and
those interested in waterfowl conservation is paramount to the success
of Valley Waterfowl. The
critical state of west coast sporting opportunities demands immediate
attention and change. Valley
Waterfowl is the new unified voice for the Pacific Flyway. To begin
