The GCMVCD participates in the California Department of Public Health's (CDPH) WNV dead bird testing program. Glenn County residents participate in the program by calling CDPH's Dead Bird Hotline (1-877-WNV-BIRD) each time they find a dead bird in Glenn County or by submitting an Online form at Submit An Online Dead Bird Report. Residents can also call the GCMVCD Office (530-934-4025) and the district will report the bird to the hotline. After the bird has been reported CDPH will send a dead bird number and the GCMVCD will retrieve the bird and submit a saliva sample for WNV testing.
