MCBA 2025 Fundraising Drive

Here’s how you can get involved

Friends, MCBA is on the move again. We have never been more committed and passionate about our mission today. We have introduced a new dedicated funding stream for our projects so as to keep our commitment and vision of improving our deer populations and health in the B-Zones.

Donate Here!

Our fundraising goal for 2025 is to raise $100,000 for the Long Term Monitoring Project.

Past Projects

Legislative: MCBA is partnering with “The Working Group” and other dedicated teams of seasoned wildlife and land managers who are working with the most informed lobbyists, and aggressive senate, assembly, and congressional representatives in California. This team realizes California is in danger of losing hunting and recreational opportunities all together. We will challenge our opponents who want to diminish our recreational opportunities as hunting and fishing communities. Recent actions have adopted unscientific regulatory directives which foster Wildlife mismanagement,and have resulted in abnormal predator prey populations. We will be introducing legislation to ” take back ” our rights in Wildlife management in California. This will be MCBA’s chief project for the next 5 years as it is the most threatening element to balanced forest health, wildlife management, and hunting and fishing today.

Wildlands Cleanup: MCBA will continue to cleanup public lands of the deep scars that exist from illegal toxic grow sites that still exist in the hundreds in USFS and BLM properties. There are numerous sites that still have never been cleaned up after law enforcement has eradicated, and they pose a threat to both our deer and hunters. Our fundraising target for cleanups in 2020 is $25,000.

Habitat Enhancement : MCBA will continue this very vital project as we receive funding. Working with our USFS and BLM partners to ensure quality forage and forest health are maintained, we will masticate old decadent chaparral and remove fir that encroach on oak stands. We believe that improving our preferred browse habitat in the B-Zones will produce high quality food for deer, reduce catastrophic fires, and improve our wildlife and forest health.

Help MCBA in its efforts to champion the challenges that all Californians who visit our public lands now face in recreational opportunities and resources.
