![]() ![]() Project will work alongside conservation corps groups to manage invasive plants across 30 acres, restore 5 acres through native plantings, remove 400 pounds of trash from the project area and construct or replace 170 off-highway vehicle barriers to restore critical habitats and improve land degradation. Remove invasive vegetation and litter and install off-highway vehicle barriers within the Copper and Powerhouse fire scars in the Angeles National Forest. Project will restore the hydrologic function of Loma Alta Slough, protecting surrounding critical coastal infrastructure from sea-level rise and increased storm intensity, and will enhance species habitat while promoting education and conservation value to the community.Īddressing Invasive Vegetation and Off-Highway Vehicle Barriers in the Angeles National Forest (CA) Prepare a construction-ready coastal wetland restoration project in Southern California building off completed preliminary designs, stakeholder outreach and permitting communications. Project will include model-based estimates of hydrologic and greenhouse gas benefits derived from fuels reduction efforts using June Mountain and Mammoth Lakes Basin projects on the Inyo National Forest as pilots and extrapolating the results of these projects to the broader Owens watershed.įinalizing Design of a Loma Alta Slough Wetlands Enhancement Plan (CA) Project will provide critical habitat for threatened salmonids and other listed species, act as a living shoreline to protect Highway 101 and an electrical power line from sea-level rise and tidal flooding, and expand passive recreational opportunities and coastal access for the public.Īssessing Fuels Reduction Impact on Biomass Removal, Water and Greenhouse Gases (CA)Ĭonduct feasibility studies to inform short-term and long-term planning for biomass removal and processing critical to large scale fuels management. Restore a 114 acre tidal wetland complex within Humboldt Bay to be self-sustaining over the long term in the face of projected sea level rise. Project will provide important linkages for numerous special-status plant and animal species, maintain water quality in the watershed, support agricultural productivity, and continue tule elk distribution and public hunting opportunities.Įnhancing the Tidal Wetland Complex and Creating Habitat for Salmonids in the Elk River Estuary (CA) Place a conservation easement on 9,418 acres of rangeland in the Gabilan Mountain Range to eliminate the potential for subdivision, development and cropland intensification. Project will reduce 396 acres of high fuel loads by treating canopy understory, removing invasive juniper and conifer, and reducing ladder fuels to reduce the risk of severe wildfire within the forest and neighboring communities. Implement fuels management practices and improve wildfire resilience in the Van Bremmer and Round Valley areas within the Goosenest Ranger District of the Klamath National Forest. Project will plant mule deer forage, install wildlife-friendly fencing, perform erosion control and restoration, deter invasive weed conversion, acquire a conservation easement in a migratory corridor, and analyze data on mule deer migration and plant seeding restoration preference.įuels Management Treatments in Van Bremmer and Round Valley within the Klamath National Forest (CA) Restore migratory corridor and winter and spring range habitat for California-Nevada interstate mule deer impacted by the Slink Fire in Mono County and Alpine County, California. Restoring Mule Deer Habitat in the Slink Fire Scar (CA, NV) Fish and Wildlife Service to complete a more accurate assessment of the size and distribution of the vireo’s range-wide population. Survey for the least Bell’s vireo in Bureau of Land Management (BLM) riparian habitat in the Central Valley and the Mohave Desert in order to assess whether they may have recently re-expanded their range north into historical breeding ranges on BLM lands in the Central Valley and to determine the range and occupancy of them on BLM lands in the Mohave. Least Bell’s Vireo Range Expansion Surveys in the Mohave Desert and Central Valley (CA) Project will conduct surveys of local seedbanks, collect seeds from critical species such as big cone Douglas fir and gray pine and fill seedbank gaps for the Southern California seed zone by developing a reforestation infrastructure strategy using climate-smart principles and new forestation tools.Īmerican Songbird Management and Recovery Restoring Conifer Plantations in the Powerhouse Fire Scar (CA)Īid restoration of conifer forests impacted by the Powerhouse Fire within the Angeles National Forest.
