Who We Serve
Wildlife Conservation Systems works with a diverse range of clients across California — from family ranches and conservation land trusts to federal agencies and university research programs. What they share is a need for wildlife management that is science-based, field-proven, and built around their specific objectives.
Agricultural operations face wildlife pressure from multiple directions — predators targeting livestock, wildlife damaging crops and irrigation infrastructure, and regulatory requirements that govern how conflicts can be addressed. WCS provides integrated programs that protect your operation, document your losses, and navigate the permitting process on your behalf.
Livestock Protection
Predator exclusion, aversion conditioning, depredation management, and livestock protection systems to reduce predation losses and protect herd productivity.
Crop Protection
Monitoring, exclusion, deterrence, and damage documentation programs to reduce wildlife damage to row crops, orchards, vineyards, and specialty crops.
Irrigation & Infrastructure Protection
Assessment and mitigation of wildlife damage to irrigation systems, water infrastructure, and agricultural facilities.
Predator Management
Permitted, regulatory-compliant predator management programs addressing coyote, mountain lion, black bear, feral hog, and other species causing agricultural losses.
Conservation organizations require rigorous, defensible field data to support management decisions, grant reporting, regulatory compliance, and stakeholder communication. WCS provides monitoring, sampling, and habitat management services that meet the scientific and documentation standards conservation programs demand.
Monitoring
Camera networks, population surveys, occupancy assessments, and species inventories to track wildlife populations and evaluate management effectiveness.
Habitat Projects
Habitat assessments, restoration planning, vegetation management, and water development to improve conditions for target species and ecological communities.
Species Surveys
Structured surveys for sensitive, threatened, and endangered species to support conservation planning, regulatory compliance, and grant reporting.
Government agencies require wildlife management programs that are documented, regulatory-compliant, and defensible to public scrutiny. WCS delivers full-scope contract wildlife management for federal, state, county, and special district agencies — with the reporting, data management, and interagency coordination that public programs require.
Monitoring
Population monitoring, occupancy surveys, and species detection programs that generate the data needed for management planning, regulatory reporting, and adaptive management.
Research Support
Field operations support for agency research programs including biological sampling, data collection, equipment deployment, and logistics.
Contract Wildlife Management
Full-scope wildlife management contracts covering monitoring, damage assessment, conflict prevention, conflict response, exclusion fencing, and habitat management under multi-year agreements.
Private landowners face wildlife challenges that are often complex, ongoing, and difficult to navigate without specialized expertise. Whether you are dealing with an active conflict, trying to understand what is on your property, or looking to improve habitat for hunting or conservation, WCS provides the field expertise and regulatory knowledge to help you achieve your goals.
Wildlife Conflict Prevention
Exclusion fencing, deterrent systems, and prevention planning to reduce the likelihood of wildlife conflicts before they cause damage.
Wildlife Conflict Response
Rapid response to active conflicts including depredation events, nuisance wildlife, and human safety concerns — with full regulatory support.
Habitat Improvement
Habitat assessments, restoration, and enhancement to improve wildlife populations, hunting quality, and land value.
Research institutions require field partners with the permits, equipment, experience, and logistical capability to execute complex sampling and data collection programs in challenging environments. WCS provides experienced field support that integrates seamlessly with research team objectives and protocols.
Sampling
DNA, blood, tissue, tooth, hair, and scat collection from target species using approved, permit-compliant methods. Samples are properly preserved and documented for laboratory submission.
Data Collection
Systematic field data collection including wildlife observations, habitat measurements, camera trap deployment, and telemetry tracking in support of research protocols.
Field Operations
Logistics, personnel, equipment, and field coordination for research projects requiring extended field presence, remote access, or specialized wildlife handling capabilities.
