Working with the County of Sacramento, the Conservancy’s Alleghany 50 tract burrowing owl enhancement project is nearing completion. The project is being done by County Sanitation as a mitigation project, and the Conservancy welcomed the opportunity to enhance the area to take advantage of a crop conversion experiment nearby.
The Conservancy announces the completion of a series of three land exchanges designed to consolidate preserves and reduce fragmented habitat lands. The effort was completed over a period of three and one-half years, and was done to secure land with superior biological resources and to enhance the value of existing habitat land for the species covered under the Natomas Basin Habitat Conservation Plan (NBHCP).
