The Department of Fish and Game (DFG) manages 728 properties statewide, comprising approximately 1.1 million acres (617,565 acres owned and 482,109 acres owned by other entities, but administered by DFG). Since several state agencies purchase land for the purpose of habitat or wildlife protection, and management responsibilities of these properties are often transferred to the DFG, the number of properties is continually increasing. The current inventory includes: 110 wildlife areas, 130 ecological reserves, 11 marine reserves, 180 public access areas, 21 fish hatcheries, 238 lands that have not yet been designated, and 38 other types of properties.
