|---|---|
| SATELLITE WATER MONITORING: Collect and provide data to California Department of Fish and Wildlife Biologists on water source information received from satellite monitoring systems installed om Big Game Guxzzlers. This data is used to determine when water hauling or guzzler repairs are needed to support the wildlife. | $2,727 |
| SUNSHINE BIG GAME GUZZLER AND RAINBOW #1 AND #5 BIG GAME GUSSLER INSTALLATION: The Marine Corps Base at 29 Palms California has allowed this Organization to install three new Big Game Guzzlers inside restricted areas of the base where human access is very limited. Final Plumbing connections and satellite monitor connections were completed by volunteers. | $2,185 |
| WATER HAULING TO BIG GAME GUZZLERS DURING CRUCIAL DRY SUMMER MONTHS: The Big Horn Sheep are dependent on the man made water sources due to the fact that natural water sources such as springs has been diminished by ground water pumping and other types of human consumption as well as the 2016 record drought conditions. Highways and other developments have also disrupted the historical migration routes used by the Sheep to find water during the dry summer months. Volunteers often use their own vehicles to haul water to the remote guzzler locations with small truck mounted tanks. Water hauling in 2016 included a commercial water truck delivery of 4,000 gallons to the South I-40 big game guzzler. | $1,000 |
| AREA CAPTAIN PROGRAM: Coordinate with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, U. S. Bureau of Land Management, U. S. Forest Service, U. S. Park Service and California State Park Service and volunteers on various projects including installation and repair and maintenance of big game guzzlers and natural springs. Conduct Surveys and provide the results to the California Department of fish and Wildlife for the improvement of wildlife habitat. Coordinate with voilunteer Area Captains to inspect and maintain over 53 big game guzzlers and various natural springs. | $325 |
| SHEEP SHEET NEWS LETTER: Print and distribute the Sheep Sheet News Letter that contains information on wildlife habitat improvement projects both past and future. It is distributed to members and volunteers. | $677 |
| CHUCKWALLA SPRING AND TERESA SPRING WATER STORAGE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT: Install new rain catcher water storage tanks at Chuckwalla Spring in the Clipper Mountains and Teresa Spring in the Marble Mountains. With the use of volunteer labor and a Department of Fish and Wildlife approved contract helicopter air ship, the new tanks and installation materials were delivered to these remote locations. The existing old spring boxes were dug out and the process of plumbing the spring water to the new rain catcher drinker tanks was started. These tanks were painted with desert camouflage so as to blend with the natural terrain and meet appearance standards set by the Bureau of Land Management. This project required permits by the Bureau of Land Management and biological research was completed by Fish and Wildlife Consultant Dr. Vernon C. Bleich in order to satisfy the permit requirements. The insallation of new tanks at these two sites wignificantly increases the water storage capacity and should provide a good water supply during the dry summer months. | $3,075 |
| FUTURE TANK REPLACEMENT OLD DAD GUZZLER: A permit from the National Park Service is required to replace the aging water storage tanks at the Old Dad Big Game Guzzler. Dr. Vernon Bleich has been contracted to write the necessary biological research documents that are required before the permit will be issued. | $416 |
| STATE LANDS COMMISSION/STATE SCHOOL LANDS: The big game guzzler site planned for remote school land sites in the Mojave desert are a work in progress, however one two acre and one half acre site with an existing guzzler has been leased by SCBS and it will be monitored and maintained by volunteers with the results being reported to Department of Fish and Wildlife Biologists. This site is located in the Granite Mountains in Riverside County, California. | $87 |
| KERR BIG GAME GUZZLER DRINKER REPAIR: The Kerr guzzler in the Old Dad Mountains is one of the most heavily used water sources in the Mojave Preserve and the plumbing from the tanks to the drinker was damaged by a freeze break so emergency repairs were performed by the volunteer labor. | $99 |
| FAY DEE GUZZLEY AND OLD DAD GUSSLER MONITOR REPAIRS: The satellite monitor ststems that provide water storage data on occasion require repairs by rodent damage to electrical wiring. It is also necessary to occasionally change the batteries that power the system. They are normally charged by a solar panel but do need to replaced from time to time. | $86 |
