      <abstract>This data is associated with the following layers: Participating Meat Processors and Taxidermists - CDFW [ds3155] (https://apps.wildlife.ca.gov/bios6/?al=3155), Carcass Disposal Sites - CDFW [ds3156] (https://apps.wildlife.ca.gov/bios6/?al=3156), Chronic Wasting Disease Surveys - CDFW [ds3157] (https://apps.wildlife.ca.gov/bios6/?al=3157). These layers include CWD Testing Sites, Participating Meat Processors and Taxidermists (MP&amp;T), Carcass Disposal Sites, and comprehensive data on CWD surveillance spanning from 1999 to 2023. This compilation of layers provides a comprehensive view of CWD-related activities, facilitating informed decision-making and strategic planning for wildlife management and disease prevention efforts. To date, there has not yet been any cases of CWD detected in California and surveillance data will be updated regularly. For the latest information, please visit https://wildlife.ca.gov/CWD.</abstract>
      <purpose>Locations designated for hunters to report and submit harvested animals for Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) testing. These sites operate on specific days and timeframes during the hunting season, offering hunters a convenient opportunity to participate in CWD surveillance efforts.</purpose>
