California's climate is largely Mediterranean, with dry summers and mild, wet winters. This creates specific opportunities for wildlife to thrive year-round. Animals may seek water and cooler spaces during hot summers. During wet winters, they might look for dry shelter. We understand these patterns across the state, from the Central Valley to Southern California.
