The SHARE program is a voluntary incentive arrangement in which landowners receive liability protection and may receive compensation for providing public access to or through their land for recreational use and enjoyment of wildlife. SHARE is dedicated to creating good relationships between recreational users and landowners, while providing additional hunting, fishing and other recreational access on private land in California today and for future generations.
All questions about the SHARE program and the proposed regulations should be directed to Victoria Barr, Environmental Scientist, at (916) 445-4034 or vbarr@dfg.ca.gov.
