Wildlife Connectivity Fencing Modifications

The Wildlife Connectivity Fencing Modifications project, identified by WCB Project Tracker ID 2025106, is a forecast initiative managed by the California Wildlife Conservation Board. The primary objective is to improve big game habitat connectivity within the Doublehead Ranger District, located 24 miles south of Tulelake in Modoc and Siskiyou counties. The scope of work involves the removal of 12 miles of woven-wire fencing and the modification of 51 miles of existing 4 and 5 strand barbed-wire fencing to a wildlife-friendly design. The project is classified under NAICS code 237990 and is managed by Rebecca Fris, the Deputy Executive Director of the Wildlife Conservation Board. According to the Notice of Exemption dated May 29, 2026, the project is exempt under CEQA Section 15301 for Existing Facilities, as the work consists of minor alterations to existing structures that result in negligible or no expansion of use. The lead agency is headquartered in Sacramento, California.
