We are a nonprofit, volunteer organization dedicated to supporting the Whitfield Wildlife Conservation Area by promoting habitat restoration, education, and conservation. We encourage the public to visit the Whitfield, see some wildlife, and learn something about the diversity of plants and animals that call this place home.
In April of 2003, the Valencia Soil and Water Conservation District acquired through donation the Whitfield-Trammel arm, a 97 acre tract of irrigated land bordered on the west by the Rio Grande and surrounded by mixed agricultural and residential properties.
The land has since been put into a permanent conservation easement with the United States Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Services Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP). The WRP is a voluntary program offering landowners the opportunity to protect, restore, and enhance wetlands on their property. Work already completed includes: the planting of food crops for migratory birds, the construction of a one-acre wetland pond, and the planting of native trees and shrubs
