CDFW will reschedule the legally mandated, annual hunter outreach meeting on North Central Region Type A Wildlife Areas – which includes Gray Lodge and the Upper Butte Basin Wildlife Area Complex (Little Dry Creek Unit, Howard Slough Unit, and Llano Seco Unit), originally scheduled for April 25, 2020 – once health directives and conditions allow.
At this time, both the Gray Lodge Wildlife Area and the Upper Butte Basin Wildlife Area Complex remain open to public use – fishing, hunting, birding, hiking, etc. – as long as social distancing of 6 feet or more can be implemented.
Offices at those lands are closed to the public.

“As we work through an unpredictable and rapidly changing situation, health and safety is our number one priority,” said Forest Supervisor Ann Carlson. “We are committed to continuing to support our communities and fulfill our mission as we all work together to minimize the impacts and spread of COVID-19.”
These actions have been taken based on the best available medical advice to limit gatherings of large numbers of people and to promote social distancing.
While being outside on a national forest is believed to be safer than indoor spaces, visitors are urged to take the precautions recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

As of Wednesday, non-campground outdoor areas of parks, including trails and beaches, remain open.
Visitors are reminded to practice social distancing and maintain at least 6 feet between other visitors and anyone who is coughing or sneezing.
Restrooms also remain open, and visitors are advised to take soap for handwashing and alcohol-based hand sanitizers when water is not available.
Most importantly, State Parks recommends that everyone follow precautionary guidance issued by the California Department of Public Health, public local health agencies, the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention when recreating in the outdoors.
Last week, State Parks temporarily suspended guided tours and large events, and temporarily closed facilities such as visitor centers and museums.
State Parks is monitoring the COVID-19 situation carefully and is committed to following the state’s updated policy on social gatherings to help slow the spread of COVID-19.
