Species and Wetland Conservation
As one of the largest vernal pool conservation banks in Solano County, the 964-acre Burke Ranch Conservation Bank hosts a number of listed species, including one of the few populations of the federally-listed Delta green ground beetle.
Nesting Swainson’s hawk has been recorded on-site for the past five years, as well as breeding of the California tiger salamander even during years of extreme drought. In addition, the bank has documented presence of vernal pool fairy shrimp, vernal pool tadpole shrimp, vernal pool conservancy fairy shrimp, and Burrowing owl.
