Site-Specific Management Plans
The Natomas Basin Conservancy (TNBC) selected WES to prepare new and updated site-specific management plans (SSMPs) for 29 parcels of land, totaling 4,104 acres, acquired by TNBC. The SSMPs included field reconnaissance to determine existing habitat conditions for federal and state-listed species. WES surveyed specifically for Giant garter snake and Swainson’s hawk. WES also prepared descriptions of the suitability for habitat restoration and specific land management practices to maximize species utilization. Lastly, WES prepared of an opinion of probable costs associated with implementing the management plan and an update to the long-term stewardship operations and maintenance program and budget.
