- Share via
A wildlife preserve near Lake Isabella, northeast of Bakersfield, will be expanded by nearly half, thanks to state funds.
The California Wildlife Conservation Board has agreed to spend $795,000 to add 680 acres to the Canebrake Ecological Reserve, a 1,400-acre wildlife preserve managed by the California Department of Fish and Game.
The purchase from unnamed property owners is expected to be completed in January. The land is key for wildlife moving between the U.S. Forest Service Dome Land Wilderness and property owned by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.
