The Habitat Conservation Fund Program was established under the California Wildlife Protection
Act of 1990 and provides grant funds for the enhancement, restoration and interpretation of
riparian habitats throughout the State. Approximately $2 million will be available this funding cycle.
The grant application requires a 50-percent match of non-State money, which is available through
general fund in-kind services, which includes budgeted operating expenses for the Santiago Park
Nature Center. Applications are due on October 1, 2012.
The Parks, Recreation and Community Services Agency proposes to submit an application for the
Outdoor Leadership Program. The program will educate and train teen volunteers to lead
interpretive tours for organized groups and individual park visitors at the Santiago Creek Wildlife
and Watershed Center and to lead outdoor educational programs and activities at Santiago Park
and other wilderness areas.
