California is a leader in environmental policy and conservation. Our state is filled with diverse and unique ecosystems, which is why California Wildlife Day! was formally established through legislation sponsored by Senator Bill Monning and passed in the California Senate in March 2017.  A copy of the concurrent resolution is attached.

Nature and wilderness are a source of inspiration, education, and physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Many state and non-profit organizations work to promote environmental awareness and stewardship and will collaborate to provide opportunities for education and service for California Wildlife Day.
​
California Wildlife Day will be celebrated annually on the Spring Equinox; for 2020 that will be March 21st.

Thank you Secretary John Laird for your support of CWD!

In August 2018, John Laird, Secretary for the California Natural Resources Agency, recognized the importance of preserving wildlife and the importance of California Wildlife Day! by writing a letter of support to Abbie Beane, the Executive Director of our parent organization: Carmel River Watershed Conservancy.
