The Wildlife Conservation Board administers a statewide capital outlay program for the acquisition, restoration and enhancement of wildlife habitat, and development of wildlife-oriented public access and recreational facilities areas.

The program's three main functions are (1) land acquisition, (2) habitat restoration and enhancement of facilities, including conservation of inland wetlands, riparian habitat, oak woodlands and protection of rangeland, grazing land and grasslands, and (3) development of wildlife-oriented public access and recreational areas.

Since department programs drive the need for infrastructure investment, each department has a related capital outlay program to support this need. For the specifics on the Wildlife Conservation Board's Capital Outlay Program, see "Infrastructure Overview."
