Field of Dreams Sponsorship

The MCBA -- along with many other great organizations -- helped to sponsor the annual "Field of Dreams" in 2010; an event to give joy to children with special needs and their families through outdoor activities. We look forward to helping out again with this truly special event in 2011.

MCBA Helps Fish and Game retrieve deer collars.

Fish and Game tranquilize deer yearly in their management program, and place radio and GPS units on them so they can track the deer for herd data studies. It is vital to have this information to understand how deer are responding to new and old influences in their habitat; such as lion predation, coyote predation, bear predation , natural mortality due to environmental changes and other things that haved changed over the years -- such as the commercial marijuana industry which has been devastating the deer herds in public lands. MCBA volunteer Jack Booth -- a retired Mendocino County Fish and Game Biologist -- Paul Trouette, the President of MCBA, and MCBA member Lee Nerli spend their time here in 2007 finding the collar from a deer in the Mendocino National Forest Andersen Creek Area.
