In 2025, NFWF launched the first Sacramento Valley Floodplain Enhancement for Salmon and Shorebirds funding opportunity. A partnership with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, this funding supports multi-benefit floodplain restoration projects that enhance habitat for anadromous fish and migratory shorebirds while also advancing the long-term health of the Sacramento River Basin and the communities who live and work there. … In addition to providing benefits for a wide array of species, the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta is also an area of enormous agricultural value, with about 500,000 acres of land in rice production that is estimated to contribute $1 billion to California’s economy.
