The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors are slated to approve a grant award during Tuesday’s meeting which will allow the Santa Clarita Valley Chapter of Quail and Upland Wildlife Federation to buy a new trailer.
According to the L.A. County Board of Supervisors agenda item summary, the Fish and Game Propagation Fund Grant will amount to $6,024.32 for the purchase of the new habitat utility and water delivery trailer.
The custom landscaping trailer, from Carson trailer, will be used to haul water from private ranchers to maintain more than 40 of the wildlife water guzzlers in Los Angeles County.
The grant award will also cover a single jacket water hose, water pump and a two gallon rebottled IBC tote.
According to the agenda item summary, private ranchers have already agreed to provide 200 to 300 gallons of water as well as some local sanitation districts, such as Castaic Lake Water Agency and the City of Burbank have also agreed to provide water.
The trailer will be housed at the Santa Clara District Forest Service Station and will also be used to transport tools and materials to project sites.
The grant request for the trailer was approved by the Los Angeles County Fish and Game Commission at a meeting on Oct. 8.
The grant will have no impact to the general fund, all of the money was obtained from the Fish and Game Propagation Fund, according to the summary.
In June, the Santa Clarita Valley Chapter of Quail and Wildlife Federation was awarded $7,700 from the Los Angeles County Fish and Game commission to restore three wildlife water sources known as guzzlers. The guzzlers were completed in September and and one last guzzler is scheduled for completion by Nov. 24.
The Santa Clarita Valley Chapter of the Quail and Wildlife Federation was created in an attempt to maximize the recovery and restoration of the local wildlife species and aims to promote education, conservation and the propagation of fish and game. They are currently working within Los Padres and Los Angeles National Forest.
Some of the ways they have helped the wildlife include installing water sources, planting tree seeds and appropriate plant life in fire ravaged areas, and other projects including designing appropriate roads and fences to help protect wildlife.
