WATSON CONSERVATION EASEMENT, Humboldt County 13 acres donated: in 2010 Dr. Louise Watson bequeathed a 8-acre property in Trinidad to the Northcoast Regional Land Trust. Louise had also gifted an adjacent 5-acre property to Humboldt State University with the intent to maintain the land in its native state.

SISKIYOU LAND CONSERVANCY http://siskiyouland.org/projects/ formerly known as The Smith River Project Private Lands Program The goal of Siskiyou Land Conservancy’s Private Lands Program is to protect biological diversity and habitat on privately owned lands in the five-county region we serve (Humboldt, Mendocino, Siskiyou, Trinity and Del Norte). We are specifically devoted to protecting the Smith River, in the far northwestern corner of California. In addition to protecting habitat, Siskiyou Land Conservancy is dedicated to creating or adding to wildlife migration corridors. Where appropriate, we also protect land suitable for public access and recreation. Currently Siskiyou Land Conservancy protects five properties and 624 acres of privately held critical habitat in Humboldt, Del Norte and Mendocino counties. SOUTH FORK EEL RIVER 73 acre CE in Southern Humboldt County, protected by Siskiyou Land Conservancy in late 2011, is thick with mature second-growth redwood and Douglas fir and is adjacent to two state-owned redwood groves in the Redway area. The adjacent groves are Whittemore Grove (250 acres) and Stable Slopes Grove (581 acres). Nearby are Holbrook Grove (300 acres) and O’Meara Grove (under 50 acres). http://siskiyouland.org/2016/01/12/south-fork-eel-river/ http://siskiyouland.org/2010/01/11/slc-protects-163-acres-of-mendocino-redwoods-and-meadows/ SOUTH FORK SMITH RIVER 148 acres CE (2005) on the Wild and Scenic South Fork Smith River, in Del Norte County; protects the easternmost redwoods on the Smith River, as well as the largest privately held flat on the South Fork Smith River.

Sanctuary Forest is a community-based land trust, actively working with landowners to protect, conserve, and restore land in the Mattole River watershed. Sanctuary Forest holds conservation easements on private lands and also offers many programs and services to assist landowners and our community in stewarding and protecting our natural resources for future generations.

25

LAND ACQUISITION: http://www.sanctuaryforest.org/programs/land-conservation/land-acquisition/ In the 1990’s, Sanctuary Forest began to organize meetings with private citizens, non-profit organizations, and state and federal agencies with the aim to conserve the old-growth forests and salmon streams in the upper Mattole River. These meetings resulted in the creation of the Upper Mattole River and Forest Cooperative (UMRFC), which is a collaborative entity of public, private, federal, state and non-profit organizations working together to manage over 4,000 acres of the Mattole headwaters as an old growth forest and endangered salmon refuge. The UMRFC was an important tool for land acquisition in the early years.

CONSERVATION EASEMENTS: http://www.sanctuaryforest.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Conservation-Easement-Brochure.pdf Sanctuary Forest holds conservation easements that protect, in total, almost 7000 acres of privately owned land. http://www.sanctuaryforest.org/programs/land-conservation/conservation-easements/ The largest conservation easement preserves nearly 4,000 acres of coastal forestland. The smallest is only 3 acres, and was created primarily to save a single tree: the Luna Property, now owned by Humboldt Redwood Company, that Julia Butterfly Hill made famous with her two-year tree sit. http://www.sanctuaryforest.org/programs/land-conservation/luna/ http://www.sanctuaryforest.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/W401.pdf 40 acre Whitethorn Grove in downtown Whitethorn, bought in 2001 with 11/2001 $600,000 WCB grant additions 10/24/17: attempting to purchase 1600 acres from Boyle Forests LP http://www.sanctuaryforest.org/vanarkenwatershed/ MAP: http://www.sanctuaryforest.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/VanArken_ConservedLands_MAP618x800.jpg http://www.sanctuaryforest.org/savevanarken/

Mill Valley's Horse Hill is now the only remaining large horse pasture in Marin County. Every day, thousands of traffic-bound commuters Highway 101 are refreshed by the sight of the 14 member Horse Hill Herd. This pastoral vignette, familiar to Marinites for over four decades, gave the impetus to neighborhood efforts to "SAVE HORSE HILL" which began in 1988 and culminated with public purchase of the land in 1990. Thanks to tireless fundraising efforts of neighbors, horse lovers, horse owners, the City of Mill Valley, and the Marin County Open Space District, this rural pristine hillside will be protected forever.' www.horsehill.org -------------------------------------------

It abuts the UC Reserve to the north and Bureau of Land Management properties on the east and west. This $45,000 purchase was made possible with a $25,000 grant from the John and Vera Long Foundation and individual donations ranging from $5 to $2,000.

The properties were transferred from John Olmstead’s organization California Institute of Man in Nature after the title was mostly cleared of 30 folks on 4 Deeds of Trust. Most of these folks donated their interest in the property in honor of John Olmsted’s conservation legacy. John died in 2011 knowing that these lands were protected. John acquired the property as a “bead on a necklace” on his proposal for a Mendocino to Tahoe cross California trail along the 39th Parallel or generally along Highway 20. The properties sit on a large ancient landslide. The rotational movement of the slide has created a ‘lumpy” landscape with springs, wetland areas, and riparian habitat. There are also open prairies, chaparral habitat and timber on the properties.

73

http://tuleyome.org/irelandranch/ The 640 acre Ireland Ranch is located in Yolo County high on the east side of the Blue Ridge about 15 miles northwest of Winters. It was acquired in 2006 to provide access to the 9100 acres of the Bureau of Land Management Berryessa Peak public lands that had been previously land locked and inaccessible to the public. Because the 5 mile, 4x4 dirt access road first crosses another private ranch it is necessary for a Tuleyome board member or a trained docent to lead trips to the area. The $640,000 purchase of the ranch was made possible with a grant from the Resources Legacy Fund Foundation and $190,000 in donations for Tuleyome supporters. Following the purchase Tuleyome developed a management plan for the property. The property was certified organic and Tuleyome has a multi-year lease with an organic cattle company to graze the property. Dr. Ellen Dean of the UC Davis Center for Plant Diversity completed a floristic survey of the property in June, 2008. Highlights of the survey included: Seven visits were made to the ranch, 278 plant specimens were collected, and 239 kinds of plants (species, subspecies, varieties) were documented as occurring at the ranch; One verified occurrence of the special-status plant Colusa layia (Layia septentrionalis) was encountered; One unverified occurrence of the special-status plant Jepson’s leptosiphon (Leptosiphon jepsonii) was encountered; Two occurrences of a form of coyote mint intermediate between common coyote mint (Monardella villosa ssp. villosa) and the special-status plant robust monardella (Monardella villosa ssp. globosa) were encountered; Eighteen native plants were encountered for which no Yolo County herbarium specimen had ever been collected, and herbarium specimens were collected for 16 of these; and A Yolo County record for a nonnative clover, knotted clover (Trifolium striatum), was documented.

The Reserve's 2000 acres support stands of black oak, blue oak, interior live oak, oracle oak, scrub oak, and valley oak. http://www.quailridge.org/news.htm QRWC has been in partnership with the UCD NRS since 1992 to help procure and preserve the natural habitats and wildlife diversity on Quail Ridge Reserve and to promote scientific research and educational outreach to the public http://nrs.ucdavis.edu/Quail.html Quail Ridge Natural Reserve is one of 35 Natural Reserves administered by the University of California Natural Reserve System (NRS). Established in 1991 with 600 acres of land, Quail Ridge has since been expanded to over 1937 acres. Quail Ridge lies on a peninsula formed by the flooding of Berryessa Valley and the creation of the Berryessa Reservoir, and perhaps due to its isolation it retains many elements of the native flora of this region Quail Ridge Reserve is a patchwork of parcels under varied ownership, including the UC Regents, the Quail Ridge Wilderness Conservancy (QRWC), the US Bureau of Reclamation, the US Bureau of Land Management, and the California Department of Fish and Game. The Reserve is managed by UC Davis NRS, and the Napa Valley Land Trust holds conservation easements on many of the properties. The peninsula also includes privately owned parcels that are not part of the Reserve. See Napa Land Trust section for ownership --------------------------------------

The Rodman Preserve totals 280 acres with the land trust owning and operating 132 acres as a wildlife preserve. Grants were received from the California Department of Fish and Game through the Wildlife Conservation Board, the National Fish and

Wildlife Foundation, the National Fish and Wildlife Service, the County of Lake, and the State Department of Parks and Recreation. The Conservation Fund, a national conservation organization, also assisted the Trust by providing bridge financing until the the project could be completed. Private owners, long-time Lake County residents and farmers, bought a portion of the property for vineyard development, which was completed in an environmentally sensitive manner, leaving majestic valley oaks and other habitat in place. The Trust completed the project in the Fall of 1999. As a result of the acquisition project, the Lake County Land Trust holds title to 132 acres of property, the California Department of Fish and Game owns 108 acres, the County of Lake owns 40 acres (the area at the mouth of Rodman Slough) and Rodman Ranch Vineyard owns 162 acres. http://www.lakecountylandtrust.org/accomplishments.html Acquisition of this property involved gathering resources from State, Federal, and County sources, as well as private funding to purchase and preserve valuable upland oak habitat and wetland habitat. Finally, in 1999, the Land Trust was able to complete the purchase of this property. The preserve consists of 240 acres, owned by the Land Trust and the Department of Fish and Game, plus another 40 acres owned by the County of Lake. Significant funding for this project came from the State Wildlife Conservation Board. Map: http://www.lakecountylandtrust.org/uploads/1/3/2/0/13206907/map_rodman.pdf THE BLACK FOREST http://www.lakecountylandtrust.org/black-forest.html Lake County Land Trust facilitated the purchase of the Black Forest on the northeast slope of Mt. Konocti. The Black Forest consists of 255 acres of old growth and second growth Douglas fir. The forest was slated for logging, when the Land Trust stepped in and purchased the land until the Bureau of Land Management was able to receive funding for the final purchase. The property was purchased by the Land Trust for $560,000 and the process of finding permanent protective funding started. In early 2000, BLM funding of $285,000 for a portion of the property was identified through their Land Exchange Program. A grant from the California Wildlife Conservation Board for $230,000 was obtained in May of 2003 contingent on the completion of the BLM Land Exchange. The final piece of the protective funding was obtained in 2004 when the County of Lake agreed to purchase a remainder parcel for open space. In September of 2004, following a series of difficulties, a modified BLM exchange, now known as Phase I, was completed. It preserved the Black Forest, but left 37 acres un-transferred to the BLM. The Phase II exchange completed in April 2006. In addition to the many donors over the course of the project, the Black Forest project would not have been possible without the help of Lake Community Bank, who provided a significant portion of the initial funding; Resources Legacy Fund Foundation, who in 2003 provided the Land Trust with a very low interest loan to reduce carrying costs; and, five angels who each loaned $25,000 to the Land Trust for the project.

EAST BAY REGIONAL PARKS DISTRICT http://www.ebparks.org/parks The Park District operates 65 parks, covering over 119,893 acres in its two-county jurisdiction, with more than 1,250 miles of trails. MAP OF THEIR PARKS: http://gis.ebparks.org/public/parksmobile/ --------------------------------------------

SAVE MOUNT DIABLO http://savemountdiablo.org/lands_conservation_buyers.html To accomplish our vision, we use two main land preservation tools as part of our newly expanded Conservation Buyer Program. First, as we have done for many years, we sell highly strategic land to governmental partners to become part of a public park system and utilize the revenue to protect more property. Much of the land Save

78

Mount Diablo has purchased over the years is now incorporated into Mount Diablo State Park or the East Bay Regional Park District.

Second, we will now sell some lands to private buyers subject to conservation easements, which we hold, and utilize the revenue to acquire more property or conservation easements. This method allows us to protect properties with important habitat that may not be well suited additions to a park or preserve because of their size or location. Several of the proposed easements are on parcels with existing houses. MAP OF GROWTH OF PARK

The Founding of Save Mount Diablo: 1971 Public perception at the time was that the State Park included the entire mountain. The truth was the State Park stood alone at the summit and down to Rock City, a solitary 6,788 acres. Except for the drive to the summit, you could not easily get into the Park. None of the low elevation staging areas or trails existed, none of the city or regional open spaces had been created, and local environmentalists became increasingly alarmed as subdivisions started creeping up to the mountain's foothills. A flashpoint in these applications was the Scott development at Walnut Creek's Shell Ridge. Before long, SMD decided that one of the best ways to spur acquisition would be to help raise money to acquire land. In 1976 the group made its first acquisition, 117 acres at the corner of Marsh Creek and Morgan Territory Roads, strategically expanding the State Park to the northeast...

A Summary of Accomplishments 1971-2014 1971: Save Mount Diablo is founded on December 7, 1971 1973: SMD helped preserve Donner Canyon, part of Mitchell Canyon, and pushed for the creation of Black Diamond Mines Regional Preserve and Shell Ridge Open Space, including support of state and local bonds for acquisition. 79

--It advised the East Bay Regional Park District on the first acquisitions for Diablo Foothills Regional Preserve. --It began leading the open space preservation effort at Blackhawk, at the Bryan Ranch development (leading to the dedication of Emmons Canyon) and supported Senator Nejedly's SB 956 with funding for Lime Ridge Open Space, and use of County open space revenues for acquisition. 1975: SMD helped preserve the remainder of Mitchell and White Canyons and pushed for the creation of Morgan Territory Regional Preserve and the expansion of Black Diamond Mines to include Nortonville. It supported Walnut Creek acquisition at Shell and Lime Ridges, secured Land & Water Conservation funding, and opposed the Curtola subdivision in Diablo. 1976: SMD made its first direct acquisition, the “Corner Piece” — 117 acres at the corner of Morgan Territory and Marsh Creek Roads, miles from the State Park. It pushed for the creation of Diablo Foothills Regional Park, helped preserve Perkins Canyon, Pine Canyon and aided in the preservation of Coyote Creek at Morgan Territory. It aided local efforts for bond funding leading to the creation of Lime Ridge Open Space, secured $2 million for Mount Diablo in SB 1455 and supported the Prop. 2State Park Bond Act. 1976: bought 117 acres in Marsh Creek http://www.savemountdiablo.org/why_mtdiablohistory.html 1977: SMD helped preserve Macedo Ranch, Pine Ridge, and supported expansion of Black Diamond Mines. For the first time, it began consideration of an open space connection from the State Park to Black Diamond Mines and urged EBRPD to enlarge the Preserve into the Clayton area. It secured $2.25m in SB 341 for State Park additions at Pine Canyon. It proposed a Lime Ridge Trail from Concord BART to Mt. Diablo, the first effort to create a Lime Ridge connection. 1978: SMD attained designation of Mt. Diablo as a State Historical Landmark, helped preserve the Oyster Point area above Blackhawk, and the Falls Trail area of Mt. Olympia. 1980: SMD incorporated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. It helped preserve North Peak and Prospectors Gap, Long Ridge, and more of Pine Canyon. Its land use efforts led to the first of the Black hawk dedications of the Blackhills in the vicinity of Southgate Rd., Dan Cook Canyon, Wall Point, and Jackass Canyon, the largest dedication to that point to the State Park system, increasing the state park's size by nearly 25% 1981: SMD helped create Concord's Pine Hollow Open Space and negotiated dedication of the Regency Meadows Open Space. It opposed development at the Claretian Seminaries site in Clayton and secured legislative funding for acquisition. 1982: SMD attained designation of Mt. Diablo as a National Natural Landmark.

It stopped development at the Wirthman property at the Highland Ridge connection from Mt. Diablo State Park to Morgan Territory Reg. Preserve, allowing EBRPD to acquire this corner connection and allow trail access. --It continued to lead support of the Mt. Diablo State Park General Plan and began a 5-year effort related to Clayton's Marsh Creek Specific Plan, holding off most of it until the Urban Limit Line was tightened. --It began a nine year effort opposing development at Clayton Ranch, which was subsequently acquired by the EBRPD. --It stopped proposed development at Chaparral Spring, which it later acquired, --at Newhall North, which was later acquired, --and of the Mariani property at the mouth of Riggs Canyon and on Highland Ridge. 1992: SMD acquired Three Springs, 81

104

impressive results. Growth control and zoning have limited and directed development, sparing the county from the sprawl that characterizes so much development in the state. An impressive array of state, county, and city parks and lands provides residents and visitors with a wide range of recreational opportunities, while also protecting habitat and watersheds. These publicly owned lands now make up 27% of the county – well over double the amount of land that is built up and three times the amount of cultivated farmland.

It showcases native oak species within a 103 acre site on the west side of Atascadero. A trail system is being designed to accommodate hikers, equestrians, and mountain bikers along with informational signage on native flora and fauna. This unique site will also provide one segment of a trail system which will connect a route through the Los Padres National Forest inland to the Pacific ocean. http://www.supportalps.org/properties/three-bridges-oak-preserve/ map: http://www.supportalps.org/files/TBOP_INFO_3_22_16.pdf

Atascadero Land Preservation Society - Atascadero Creek Project $683,214 Acquire 103.24 acres along Atascadero Creek to improve water quality, and protect oak woodlands and riparian habitat for steelhead. The project will result in the extension of a creek-side trail and links to other open space. CRA 2008

STADIUM PARK LANE-5 acres purchased 2003 for $150,000 ALPS acquired a 5 acre parcel of open space in the northeast area of Atascadero having unique historical features as well as a year-around spring. In 2003, 5 acres at the entrance to Stadium Park was slated for residential development. Instead, the cooperative owner agreed to sell the land to ALPS in order to preserve the entrance. ALPS raised $150,000 to purchase the property. Since then, resource protection activities including fence construction, erosion control, native plant plantings and trail construction have been completed. ALPS has also sponsored several Boy Scout Eagle projects including installation of benches, signage and an informational kiosk. http://www.supportalps.org/properties/stadium-park-lane/ map: http://www.supportalps.org/files/SP-Trail-Map-Google-Earth-version.jpg ATASCADERO CREEK RESERVATION PROPERTY ALPS stewards12 acres of Atascadero Creek Reservation on the east side of Atascadero.

CAYUCOS LAND CONSERVANCY MAP OF SAVED LAND: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0947/7406/files/CLC_map-verbiage.pdf? 318028322893551691 ESTERO BLUFFS: http://www.cayucoslandconservancy.org/estero.html Cayucos Land Conservancy's involvement is based on its ownership of a conservation easement on the property. State Parks holds fee title and is responsible for its management. Cayucos Land Conservancy's conservation easement is designed to preserve the bluffs and to keep them, as much as possible, the way they have always been. The easement was deeded in March, 2002 and runs in perpetuity. It empowers the Cayucos Land Conservancy to participate in the management of the property and requires CLC's concurrence on all management decisions. This is a unique ownership arrangement for State Parks and one that has led to a very cooperative relationship between State Parks and the Cayucos Land Conservancy. SAN GERONIMO RANCH, 980 ACRE CE: http://www.cayucoslandconservancy.org/sgr.html The voluntary agreement which Cayucos Land Conservancy entered into with the property owner ensures forever that the views from Highway 1, Cayucos and Estero Bluffs will be of open space rather than urban sprawl. The agreement accomplishes this by reducing the ranch's five legal buildable parcels to two and prohibiting new development within the view of the highway or Estero Bluffs. HARMONY HEADLANDS: http://www.cayucoslandconservancy.org/hh.html The 700 acre HARMONY HEADLANDS property was purchased by the state in 2002 but never opened to the public because of several bureaucratic hurdles. At the request of the California State Parks Commission, the Cayucos Land Conservancy initiated efforts to overcome those hurdles and open the park in 2008 CAYUCOS HILLSIDE LOTS: http://www.cayucoslandconservancy.org/hillside.html In the 1920's two subdivisions were established on the hillsides directly above Cayucos, creating 1640 paper lots. Today, people continue to buy and sell these lots. However, all of the lots are outside the Urban Reserve Line and the County has determined that many of the lots may be geologically unstable making them virtually unbuildable. One of the Cayucos Land Conservancy's goals is to acquire lots from willing owners to preserve these hills as part of the greenbelt. The Cayucos Land Conservancy is well on its way to making this goal a reality. In 2003, using a $40,000 Coastal Resources Grant, CLC purchased 17 available lots. In 2005, San Luis Obispo County deeded to the Cayucos Land Conservancy fee title for 147 lots which the County had acquired through tax default. Since 2005, CLC has purchased several lots from willing sellers or received as donations several more, and it currently owns approximately 15% of the hillside lots.

From the beginning, the Land Trust made clear its plan to convey the land to Los Padres National Forest for long-term stewardship as we do not have the capacity to manage this property. The canyon is entirely within the National Forest boundary and is largely surrounded by public land. On November 15, 2013, following nineteen months of negotiation with government agencies, utility companies and adjacent landowners, The Land Trust for Santa Barbara County handed over the deed to the United States Forest Service, the final step in the Trust’s conveyance of 422 acres of land in Hot Springs Canyon.

Board of trustees: Prez is VP of Southland Publishing, publisher of VC Reporter weekly paper, other: Richard Francis, founder of SOAR and former Ventura mayor BIG ROCK PRESERVE, 16 acres Composed of three separate parcels, and totaling just over 16 acres, this preserve lies just south of Foster Park and is accesible from the Ventura River Trail, directly across from the Watershed Mural. Year-round water, resident steelhead and pond turtles, and diverse native vegetation are the highlights of this beautiful property. Explore Big Rock Preserve. MAP and More info: http://www.venturahillsides.org/big_rock The Big Rock Preserve is actually a collection of 4 smaller properties owned by the Conservancy, plus 3 adjoining properties we manage. WILLOUGHBY PRESERVE, 8.93 acres: Our most accessible preserve, this 8.93 acre parcel is located close to downtown Ventura and Surfer's Point. Bordered by the Main Street bridge to the north and the 101 overpass to the south, the property lies just off the Ventura River Trail bike path. Great views of the estuary and a one-mile trail loop are some of the highlights of this preserve. Map and more info: http://www.venturahillsides.org/willoughby In 2011, the Conservancy was approached by Mr. Willoughby who was interested in donating his land. After some deliberation (the land is outside of our initial hillside focus) our board voted to accept the property.

MAP OF PRESERVES: http://arconservancy.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Pine-Hill-Preserve.pdf CAMERON MEADOWS PHASE #2 (22 acres) – Pine Hill Ecological Reserve Since 1989, ARC has been working to protect and enhance an extremely rare plant community called Western Gabbroic Mixed Chaparral stretching from Cameron Park to Pilot Hill. ARC is one of nine agencies working to create a 5,000 acre preserve protecting an assemblage of eight species of rare, threatened and endangered plants. This relatively small but complex ecosystem supports over 720 native plant species representing nearly 15% of all native plants found in California. To date, ARC has secured over $27 million to complete 28 acquisition projects protecting 2,715 acres of prime rare plant habitat. During the fall of last year, ARC worked with the State Dept. of Fish and Wildlife to secure $332,475 in a Section 6 federal grant and has now made an application to the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors for a $166,525 grant from the Pine Hill Preserve mitigation account to complete this $499,000 acquisition. The subject 22 acres contains six of the eight rare and endangered plant species. ARC hopes to close this acquisition and add this property to the Pine Hill Preserve by the end of 2015.

KANAKA VALLEY, in Pine Hill Preserve area, now owned by BLM Located southeast of Folsom Lake and north of Green Valley road, Kanaka Valley provides habitat for seven rare plants, and includes potential habitat for four federally listed plant species. The property contains 343 acres of blue oak woodland, valley oak woodland, blue oak foothill pine and montane hardwood, 167 acres of chaparral habitat, as well as 100 acres of riparian habitat along Jill’s Creek and Crocker Creek, tributaries to the South Fork American River. The most recent cooperative effort between the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) and American River Conservancy (ARC) has purchased 695 acres that represents the third and final phase of the Kanaka Valley habitat acquisition project. The Kanaka Valley purchase protects an important low-elevation wet meadow system that links federal and state public lands in the Pine Hill Preserve, while also protecting populations of federally listed plant species. The area was also home to Hawaiian settlers prior to the Gold Rush, demonstrating the region’s rich cultural history and giving the valley its unique name. The Pine Hill Preserve was established to protect rare native plants in El Dorado County that occur on a unique soil type known as gabbro soils. Since 1991, the American River Conservancy, Pine Hill Preserve Management Group and various funding partners have protected over 2,600 acres of rare plant habitat in the Preserve. The Pine Hill Preserve contains more than 4,000 acres of publicly-managed lands stretching from Folsom Lake in the north to Highway 50 in the south. http://www.sierracascadelandtrustcouncil.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Pine-Hill-Preserve.pdf https://web.archive.org/web/20160407041725/http://www.arconservancy.org/site/c.psKZL3PFLrF/b.5774343/k. 863A/Kanaka_Valley.htm https://web.archive.org/web/20150521211716/http://www.arconservancy.org/site/lookup.asp? c=psKZL3PFLrF&b=5774343 MAP: https://web.archive.org/web/20160519072247/http://www.arconservancy.org:80/atf/cf/%7B297DAEBE1FFA-413C-8866-6AA8965863F7%7D/Pine%20Hill%20Preserve_SFART_3_1_10.pdf PINE HILL PRESERVE, 3971 acres, of which 2688 acres were bought by ARC (?) now totals 4746 acres: http://www.pinehillpreserve.org/ MAP: http://arconservancy.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Pine-Hill-Preserve.pdf MAP: http://www.pinehillpreserve.org/location/Preserve_map_large.pdf

COSUMNES RIVER PRESERVE land saved: 50,000 acres + http://cosumnes.org/documents/parcelmap.pdf http://www.cosumnes.org/about-the-preserve/ The Nature Conservancy in 1984 purchased a conservation easement on 85 acres of valley oak riparian forest. In 1987, with the acquisition of more than 1,400 additional acres, the Conservancy officially established the Cosumnes River Preserve. Since then, the Preserve has grown with the aid of our many supporters. Ducks Unlimited joined as a partner in 1988, along with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. The California Department of Fish & Game, working with the Wildlife Conservation Board, joined as partners in 1990 by purchasing 840 acres of valley oak woodland and seasonal sloughs, followed shortly by the Sacramento County Department of Regional Parks in 1993. The California Department of Water Resources officially became a partner in 1996, with the purchase of agricultural land. also see 336 page http://cosumnes.org/documents/managementplan.pdf page 1-2 The Cosumnes River Watershed Project began in 1984 with The Nature Conservancy’s purchase of an 85-acre parcel of rare riparian valley oak forest along the Cosumnes River. This acquisition was followed by the purchase of an additional 320-acre parcel by Ducks Unlimited. In 1987, following a second land acquisition by The Nature Conservancy, the two organizations partnered to establish the 1,000-acre Cosumnes River Preserve (Preserve). Between 1989 and 1994, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM), California Department of Fish & Game (DFG), Sacramento County, and California Department of Water Resources (DWR) all joined The Nature Conservancy (TNC) and Ducks Unlimited (DU) as formal Preserve Partners. In 1994 the Cosumnes River Preserve Visitor Center opened and the first Cooperative Management Agreement was signed by the Preserve Partners. Following a devastating fire, the Visitor Center was re-opened in 1997. The University of California, Davis (UC Davis), began a formal research program at the Preserve in 1998. The Preserve now consists of 60 properties, bringing the total acreage to nearly 46,000 acres owned in fee title or through conservation easements. map page 2-8 detailed acquisition history is in section 7 of the management plan

AMERICAN RIVER PARKWAY FOUNDATION http://arpf.org/pdf_files/ARPmap.pdf map of American River Parkway the American River Parkway Plan was incorporated in the County’s 1962 General Plan and land acquisition began for the Parkway. Now urbanized along its entire length in Sacramento County, the river lies within the Parkway preserved by those visionary individuals. 23 miles of parkway, more then 5,000 acres, representing six ecosystems, have been set aside, their use governed by the American River Parkway Plan of 1985. Between the

American River’s confluence with the Sacramento River and Hazel Avenue, the Parkway is owned and managed by the County of Sacramento, Department of Parks, Recreation and Open Space. From Hazel Boulevard to Folsom Dam, it is owned by the federal government and managed by the State Department of Parks and Recreation.

To help grow the preserve, TNC purchased adjoining property and transferred conservation easements on approximately 3,000 acres to the Natural Resources Conservation Service's Wetland Reserve Program. In 1987, TNC signed a 25-year lease with the state of California to manage the Dye Creek Preserve, a 37,540-acre parcel of state trust land located between the city of Red Bluff and Lassen National Forest. In 1999, TNC acquired a conservation easement on the 36,000-acre Denny Ranch near Red Bluff. To date, TNC has acquired easements on more than 60,000 acres to prevent development that would fragment the landscape ------------------------------

RUTH MCKENZIE TABLE MOUNTAIN PRESERVE, 2690 acres in fee The McKenzie Preserve was acquired in trust from The Nature Conservancy in 1998. The property had previously been placed in a trust by its owner, Ruth Bea McKenzie, who wanted it to remain in ranching and open space after her death. https://sierrafoothill.org/ruth-mckenzie-table-mountain-preserve/ MAP: http://sierrafoothill.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/table-mt-directions-map.jpg MARY ELIZABETH MILLER PRESERVE AT BLACK MOUNTAIN https://sierrafoothill.org/mary-elizabeth-miller-preserve-at-black-mountain/ MAP: https://sierrafoothill.org/mary-elizabeth-miller-preserve-at-black-mountain/ The Preserve was established in 1991 through a generous gift from Dr. Bill Miller, a former chemistry professor at Fresno State (now CSUF.) The property was originally given to the Nature Conservancy and then transferred to Sierra Foothill Conservancy in 1996. This was one of SFC's first properties and it helped to establish a base to grow our land conservation work on Black Mountain. As opportunities were presented, SFC continued to expand land conservation work on Black Mountain. The Preserve which is owned and managed by SFC, is now over 1,500 acres. SFC has also partnered with adjacent landowners to help them place conservation easements on their properties. In December of 2012, SFC completed a 2,011 acre conservation easement on the south side of the Black Mountain, bringing the total conservation area to over 4,300 acres.

The completion of this 410 acre preserve and trail system provides domestic water supply protection, viewshed conservation, recreation opportunities, and fire hazard reduction. SFC worked in partnership with MPUD to develop the project and complete the 410 acre Stockton Creek Preserve with the county agency in December 2011.

DOS RIOS RANCH Restoration In 2012, Tuolumne River Trust and our project partner, River Partners, successfully acquired the Dos Rios Ranch - 1,600 acres of prime riverfront land at the confluence of the Tuolumne and San Joaquin Rivers just west of Modesto and adjacent to the San Joqauin River National Wildlife Refuge. Over the next 5 years the floodplain will be restored with the goal to provide a natural sanctuary for the community to enjoy. Click here to read more about the restoration of Dos Rios Ranch - 1,600 acres at the confluence of the Tuolumne and San Joaquin Rivers. The project, which uses no money from the state general fund, is paid for by voter-approved bond measures and grant programs dedicated for flood control projects, river parks, and wildlife restoration. This $21.8 million project is being funded by several federal, state, local and private funding sources. HABITAT RESTORATION AT BIG BEND The Trust partnered with the East Stanislaus Resource Conservation District, USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service, Fish America Foundation, NOAA Restoration Center’s Community-based Restoration Program, and the California Wildlife Conservation Board on the successful Big Bend Floodplain Protection and Habitat Restoration Project, which was completed in 2010. The Big Bend Habitat Restoration project encompassed 240-acres improving forest, river, and wildlife habitat along the Tuolumne River. The project resulted, in part, from the 1997 floods, when the site was heavily damaged by the high water surging down from the Sierra. The landowners decided that the best recovery plan for the land was to dedicate it to fish and wildlife habitat. When the project is completed, we will have planted over 25,000 native trees and shrubs and seeded over 150 acres of native grasses and forbs. -----------------------------------------

DESERT TORTOISE PRESERVE COMMITTEE land saved: http://www.tortoise-tracks.org/wptortoisetracks/dfgd/establishing-desert-tortoise-preserves/ The Desert Tortoise Preserve Committee was instrumental in establishing the Desert Tortoise Research Natural Area in Kern County, California. MAP: http://www.tortoise-tracks.org/wptortoisetracks/visiting-the-dtrna/ Within the designated boundary of this preserve lies 39.5 square miles of prime habitat that historically supported one of the highest tortoise population densities known. When it was first established in 1976 it included 16 square miles of habitat that was privately held. Since then, the Desert Tortoise Preserve Committee, Bureau of Land Management, and California Department of Fish and Game have acquired a further 14 square miles leaving 2 square miles of small parcels in private hands. The Committee continues to acquire these parcels as they become available. In 11/1995, the Committee and The Wildlands Conservancy bought out the 1,360 acre Blackwater Well Ranch in northwestern San Bernardino County, and gained control of grazing on the 49,000 acre (76.6 square miles) Pilot Knob cattle grazing allotment. Pilot Knob allotment includes mainly public land managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). http://www.tortoise-tracks.org/wptortoisetracks/projects/pilot-knob-allotment/ BROCHURE WITH MAP: http://www.tortoise-tracks.org/wptortoisetracks/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/DTRNA_color.pdf When the Desert Tortoise Natural Area was established in 1974, 14 of the 39.5 square miles of habitat were in private ownership and had to be acquired. Since that time, the Desert Tortoise Preserve Committee, Bureau of Land Management, and California Department of Fish and Game have acquired about 12 square miles, leaving about 20 small, private parcels to be acquired. Acquisition of these private lands remains a priority for the Committee. Acquisition of these private parcels is a high priority and, when accomplished, will complete land acquisition for the first Desert Tortoise Reserve Natural Area in the Southwestern United States. The Committee has also acquired significant holdings of critical habitat for the desert tortoise in other areas of the Mojave and Colorado deserts. ------------------------------

SANTA MONICA MOUNTAINS CONSERVANCY land saved http://smmc.ca.gov/mission.html The Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy was established by the California State Legislature in 1980. Since that time, it has helped to preserve over 72,000 acres of parkland in both wilderness and urban settings http://lamountains.com/ has map linking to preserves with trail maps -------------------------------

In 1970, a wildfire destroyed that cabin, too. That year Kathleen Murphy donated the 550 acre property to The Nature Conservancy, in exchange for lifting her property taxes. ...Alfred Perrson acquired the lower part of the preserve; he donated the 80 acres to the Conservancy in 1976. In 1984, the properties were received in conjunction by The MRT from the Nature Conservancy. MRT has added on to these properties over the years for a total of two square miles of protected land. http://www.mountainstrust.org/who-we-are/mountains-restoration-history/

1984 – MRT became a California public benefit nonprofit corporation no longer under the umbrella of governmental agencies. That same year, The Nature Conservancy transferred the 525-acre Murphy Preserve to us. This property was the start to our Cold Creek Preserve, which is now designated as a County of Los Angeles designated Significant Ecological Area (SEA). MRT now owns and/or manages approximately 2,000 acres in the Cold Creek watershed.

MRT's major holding, the Cold Creek Preserve, protects the headwaters of Cold Creek, one of the few year-round streams in the Santa Monica Mountains. In 1984, with the transfer of 525 acres from The Nature Conservancy, MRT established the Cold Creek Canyon Preserve. MRT continues expanding this pristine wilderness which now exceeds 1,500 acres and includes 13 waterfalls, & numerous species unique to the Santa Monica Mountains. http://www.mountainstrust.org/2016/04/01/hello-world/ 2.75 acres purchased, at intersection of Mulholland Highway and Cold Canyon Road, 4/2016 100 acres in Old Topana Canyon purchase 2014, APN 4438-005-025

2004 –Headwaters Corner at Calabasas was established in collaboration with the City of Calabasas, Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy, Los Angeles County, and National Parks Service. Headwaters Corner, now 92-acres, is a community resource providing interpretive programs, passive recreation, native plant gardens, and the Masson House – a historic homestead. Our main office is located at Headwaters Corner and is a 12-acre environmental and cultural interpretive center, which includes Dry Canyon Creek, a Los Angeles River headwater. http://www.mountainstrust.org/keeping-the-wildlands-wild/ http://www.mountainstrust.org/campaigns/dry-creek-canyon/ 92 acres (assessor maps show this as 12 acre Wild Walnut Park, city owned, and 80 acre Dry Creek Canyon Park, owned by the city and state) https://web.archive.org/web/20151018194941/http://www.mountainstrust.org/about/headwaters.html https://web.archive.org/web/20151025090242/http://www.mountainstrust.org/restoration/headwaters.html

Mountains Restoration Trust's headquarters is at Headwaters Corner park in Calabasas, gateway of the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area. Several years ago, MRT, in collaboration with the City of Calabasas, Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy, Los Angeles County and National Park Service, acquired 12-acres to create an innovative environmental and cultural interpretive center. Headwaters Corner includes one of the Los Angeles River's headwaters, Dry Canyon Creek, https://web.archive.org/web/20151025085427/http://www.mountainstrust.org/restoration/drycanyon.ht ml representative examples of five indigenous plant communities, and an historic homestead called the Masson House.

LA SIERRA PRESERVE: http://www.mountainstrust.org/keeping-the-wildlands-wild/ http://www.mountainstrust.org/who-we-are/mountains-restoration-history/

1997 – Acquired an initial 38.7-acres for the La Sierra Preserve. We are working in partnership with 209

Los Angeles County to maintain and restore the now 130-acre La Sierra Preserve. It is a designated SEA within the Santa Monica Mountains. La Sierra is a prime wildlife habitat, biologically diverse, and rich in willow riparian habitat, oak woodland, mixed riparian woodland, coastal sage scrub, wetlands, grassland, and chaparral. La Sierra provides habitat linkages to springs, seeps, and wetland areas that are critical to wildlife in the Malibu Creek watershed. THE LAS VIRGENES CREEK RESTORATION PROJECT: https://web.archive.org/web/20151025152100/http://www.mountainstrust.org/restoration/lasvirgenescre ek.html More than 30 years ago, a section of Las Virgenes Creek - from the 101 Freeway to the Agoura Road bridge, was lined with concrete to control seasonal flooding. The project removed vegetation and disturbed the creek's natural flow. Ten years ago, the City of Calabasas decided to make things right. The Las Virgenes Creek Restoration Project was initiated with Mountains Restoration Trust. More than 3,600 square yards of concrete from the bottom and sides of the creek were removed to re-establish a more environmentally sensitive flood control channel. http://scc.ca.gov/webmaster/ftp/pdf/sccbb/2007/0705/0705Board20C_Las_Virgenes_Creek.pdf WEBSITE LAST CHECKED 11/2/2017 COLD CREEK-CC 6-25-2001-- Consideration and possible Conservancy adoption of the Cold Creek Enhancement Plan and authorization to disburse up to $719,000 to the Mountains Restoration Trust for acquisition of eight parcels encompassing approximately 71.5 acres of land including portions of the riparian wetland habitat of Cold Creek, in Los Angeles County.

SAN GABRIEL AND LOWER LOS ANGELES RIVERS AND MOUNTAINS CONSERVANCY land saved: http://www.rmc.ca.gov/plans/parks.html The Watershed Conservation Authority (WCA) is a Joint Powers Authority formed by the Rivers and Mountains Conservancy and the Los Angeles County Flood Control District. The WCA has developed plans for two parks: DUCK FARM, 57 acres Until a few years ago, thousands of ducks were raised on a farm which stretched for two miles along the San Gabriel River. The property, wedged between the San Gabriel River and the 605 Freeway, is located in the unincorporated community of Basset, north of the 60 Freeway and south of the 10 Freeway. The duck farming operation was moved to the Central Valley, and the property was acquired by the WCA in December 2004. The total purchase price was $4.017 million. Prop 13 grant funds in the amount of $3 million were augmented by Prop 40 grant funds from the Rivers and Mountains Conservancy (RMC) in the amount of $1.017 million. The WCA has started the process of transforming the 57-acre site into a publicly owned open space. Click to learn more about the Duck Farm Site Concept Plan.

CLAREMONT WILDLANDS CONSERVANCY MAP: http://www.claremontwildlands.org/download.cfm?ID=31628 http://www.claremontwildlands.org/ps.about.cfm?ID=1093

chronology of land preservation: 1900 – 1950: The Johnson family owns Johnson's Pasture (180 acres) for multiple generations and uses it for picnicking and hiking. They and friends plant trees, shrubs, and wild flowers. The hillsides served other purposes as well--agriculture, irrigation and recreation. Gale Ranch was used to raise goats for mohair. College students hiked the foothills from the late 1800s on. 1925: The Padua Hills neighborhood is initiated on a ridge near the northeastern edge of Claremont. 1930: Padua Hills Theater is built. 1956: Claremont's first general plan is adopted. (Most north Claremont land is still in LA County.) 1960-1965: Claraboya, Claraboya II (Johnson's Pasture), Webb School and other hillside lands are annexed to the City of Claremont from LA County, more than doubling the city's size (from 3.65 to 7.14 square miles). 1963: The Claraboya development along Mountain Avenue is initiated. 1975: Claremont receives 40 acres from developer of Claraboya for an increase in the project density. The 40 acres become Sycamore Canyon Park. 1975 – 1981: American Savings and Loan, the new owner of Johnson's Pasture, plans to develop it. Existing zoning allows 356 housing units. The local League of Women Voters publishes "Claremont Hillside Planning" and works with the City to establish regulations restricting development in the hillsides. A novel feature of the regulations is TDR--transfer of development credits, which clusters development and keeps most of the hillsides open space. As a result of these efforts, in 1981 the City 212

adopts the Hillsides General Plan and Zoning ordinance. 1980: The H.H. Garner family donates to Pomona College 1440 acres of foothill land between Johnson's Pasture and Padua Hills. 1989-1997: The City annexes the eastern foothills and negotiates with Pomona College to buy the Garner property, creating the original Claremont Hills Wilderness Park. In exchange, Pomona College gains the right to develop the cluster along Mt. Baldy Road east of Padua Hills. 1996: The Claremont Hills Wilderness Park (the initial 1220 acres) officially opens under City ownership. 1999: A developer plans to buy Johnson's Pasture and build 125 homes on it. Citizens begin meeting in opposition. 2000: Several opponents of the development create Claremont Wildlands Conservancy (CWC) and incorporate it as a nonprofit organization with the goal of preserving Claremont's hillsides, and Johnson's Pasture in particular. 2001: CWC writes a Conceptual Area Protection Plan to qualify for State of California funding for hillside land purchases. CWC works with the Trust for Public Land, which successfully negotiates an option to buy Johnson's Pasture from the owners. The option later expires when sufficient funds cannot be raised before the deadline. 2003-2004: The City wins a State grant to acquire the Rancho de Los Amigos parcel (240 acres) from the Noland family, adding it to the Wilderness Park. With the support of CWC and the Conceptual Area Protection Plan, the City wins State grants to acquire properties from Claremont McKenna College (129 acres) in 2003 and from the Wang family (104 acres) in 2004, adding them to the Wilderness Park. (Technically, in the City's General Plan, the Wang property is an extension of Sycamore Canyon Park, but this park and the CHWP are generally referred to altogether as the Claremont Hills Wilderness Park.) With urging from CWC and other citizens, the City Council adopts a resolution to support the acquisition of Johnson's Pasture. The City then commissions an appraisal, which values the land at $12 million. 2006: CWC members take the lead in organizing two campaigns to save Johnson's Pasture. When the effort to pass a parcel tax fails in the spring, a new and more inclusive committee is formed (with CWC members again in lead roles) to campaign for a general obligation bond through Measure S. It passes on Nov. 7 with 72% in favor. 2007-2008: In 2008 the City officially incorporates Johnson's Pasture into the Claremont Hills Wilderness Park. LaVerne, the city west of Claremont, and LA County, with help from the Trust for Public Land, wins State funds to preserve 143 acres adjacent to Claremont's Wilderness Park, 22 acres along the southwest edge of Claremont's hillsides, and 40 additional acres in nearby Marshall Canyon Park. These acquisitions support CWC's long-term goal of creating a continuous wilderness corridor from Claremont westward to Monrovia. 213

2009-2010: CWC and Trust for Public Lands, with the support of the City, continue to work on acquiring three additional parcels in the southeastern section of Claremont's Wilderness Park--the Girl Scout property (5 acres), the DeVito property (5 acres) and Gale Ranch (151 acres). Funds are available at the State level from three propositions voters have passed since 2002 committed to preserving California's open space and watershed. The Gale Ranch property, owned currently by the Cuevas family, is the top priority because of its large size and strategic location between Johnson's Pasture and the Wilderness Park entrance. 2011: two State agencies--the Rivers and Mountains Conservancy and the Wildlife Conservation Board--agree to split the $4.8 million cost of Gale Ranch and contribute it to the Wilderness Park. The City officially accepts the land and agrees to maintain it as part of the park in perpetuity. 2011-2013: Sycamore Canyon undergoes restoration after being badly damaged by the 2003 wildfire. The City partners with the LA Conservation Corps and the LA Fire Department to create a sustainable ecosystem and build a rigorous 0.8-mile hiking trail from Thompson Creek to Johnson's Pasture. 2012: Large-scale developers show interest in the Evans parcel (75 acres), which goes on the market in the fall. The Trust for Public Land, the City and CWC begin the process of seeking to acquire it. The Evans parcel, vulnerable because of its accessibility for development, is on the market. Competing with developers, The Trust for Public Lands, the City and CWC begin the process of seeking to acquire it. 2013: No progress is made on acquiring the two hillside properties for sale: Evans/75 acres and DeVito. 2015: Today the size of the Claremont Hills Wilderness Park is 2064 acres or approximately 3 1/4 square miles, a combination of Sycamore Canyon Park (144 acres) and the Wilderness Park (1919.72 acres). Elevations vary from 1800 to 3000 feet. The park boundaries extend from Marshall Canyon on the west to the San Bernardino county line on the east; from the Angeles National Forest on the north to Claremont residential areas on the south.

PALOS VERDES PENINSULA LAND CONSERVANCY land saved: http://pvplc.org/_lands/index.asp Since it was founded in 1988, the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy has preserved more than 1,600 acres of open spaces on the Peninsula. MAP: http://pvplc.org/_lands/docs/OpenSpaces2010.pdf http://pvplc.org/_lands/docs/PVNP%20Map%20with%20Thank%20You.pdf Palos Verdes Nature Preserve 10 RESERVES, LOCATED IN THE CITY OF RPV In 2005, the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve was created through a land acquisition made possible by donations from community members and bond funds from the Wildlife Conservation Board, California Coastal Conservancy, County of Los Angeles and the City of Rancho Palos Verdes. The Preserve is primarily owned by the City of Rancho Palos Verdes (RPV), while the Conservancy is the habitat manager and holds conservation easements over the land. The Palos Verdes Nature Preserve is one of the best remaining locations for coastal sage scrub habitat. This rare ecosystem is home to intensely fragrant and highly drought resistant shrubs and flowering plants. EACH PROJECT HAS A TRAIL MAP LINK ABALONE COVE ECOLOGICAL RESERVE, 64 acres, includes Abalone Cove, Portuguese and Inspiration Points and Sacred Cove (except the parking lot, picnic area and lifeguard station, which remain City parklands). Home to gnatcatchers and cactus wrens, this Reserve is also home to a rare plant, the sea dahlia, its only known location in Los Angeles County. From the parking lot, trails extend out to the tip of Portuguese Point, and down to Sacred Cove where there is a sea cave at each point, a blowhole, and excellent tidepools. http://pvplc.org/_lands/abalone_cove.asp map: https://pvplc.org/_lands/docs/AbCovBrochureUpdFeb2015.pdf AGUA AMARGA RESERVE, 61 acres, consists of two canyons, Lunada Canyon which was donated to the Conservancy in 1992, and Agua Amarga Canyon that was purchased in 2005 as part of the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve. Lunada Canyon has a trail, three acres of coastal sage scrub restoration, and a restored stream http://pvplc.org/_lands/agua_amarga.asp map: https://pvplc.org/_lands/docs/UPDATEDMAPS/AguaAmargaREVMAR2013.pdf ALTA VICENTE RESERVE, 55 acres, includes the slopes that surround RPV City Hall, with views west to the Point Vicente lighthouse, north toward Malibu and east over the Peninsula’s southern slopes. Once a military installation, a former Nike missile site remains on city land and World War II gun emplacements are located on Coast Guard property on the point. Portuguese Bend Reserve, 408 acres, includes five distinct canyons which cut through this area, along with many miles of trails. Eagle’s Nest is a dramatic knoll in an area called Peacock Flats, and Ailor Cliff stands tall on its eastern boundary. The lower section contains the active landslide with fissures that are sometimes very deep and hidden by vegetation. http://pvplc.org/_lands/portuguese_bend.asp MAP: https://pvplc.org/_lands/docs/AltavicenteDec2014%20-%20Copy.pdf FILIORUM RESERVE, 191 acres acquired December 31, 2009

220

capped a 21-year effort to preserve 900 contiguous acres of protected open space and create a wildlife corridor by linking the Three Sisters and Portuguese Bend Reserves. The Conservancy and the City of Rancho Palos Verdes brought together $6.5 million from State Coastal Conservancy and more than 700 local donors to complete the acquisition of this essential piece of land. http://pvplc.org/_lands/filiorum.asp MAP: https://pvplc.org/_lands/docs/FilioriumpgupdateDec2014%20-%20Copy.pdf FORRESTAL RESERVE, 158 acres, has been managed by the Conservancy since 2001. It contains some of the best remaining coastal sage scrub habitat on the Peninsula with wildflowers in the spring. This area provides extraordinary geology lessons, with faults, folds, sedimentary bedding and igneous intrusions clearly visible in the dramatic cliff above the road and there are many crystals and fossils, particularly fish scales, in the surface rock debris. There is a former quarry in the eastern section with marked trails that wind around the top of the quarry bowl, along the top of the cliff and to a vista point called Fossil Hill. http://pvplc.org/_lands/forrestal.asp MAP: https://pvplc.org/_lands/docs/Forrestal2017.pdf PORTUGUESE BEND PRESERVE, 399 acres, bought by City of RPV 2005 https://pvplc.org/_lands/portuguese_bend.asp MAP: https://pvplc.org/_lands/docs/PBRBrochure2017.pdf

The remaining lands are either owned by the City of Whittier or the Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County. Ultimately it is hoped that over 4,000 acres will be preserved. http://www.habitatauthority.org/land-donations/

Lands donated to the Habitat Authority include: 8 ACRES IN HACIENDA HEIGHTS: In February of 1997, Benson Ford Jr. generously donated 8 acres of vacant land located in Hacienda Heights. Along with this donation was a monetary gift of $20,000 to assist with the clean up of the former home site. Since its acquisition, the Habitat Authority has revegetated the site with native plants, and regularly has it patrolled by rangers to keep it secure and safe for the nearby neighborhood. This property has a beautiful vista and is a regular resting spot for recreationists using the Los Angeles County Schabarum (Skyline) Regional Trail. 5 ACRES IN LA HABRA HEIGHTS: In December of 2002, Janis Grimont generously donated 5 acres of vacant land located in La Habra Heights. Her donation was made first to the Wildlife Corridor Conservation Authority, another local government joint powers authority, and transferred to the Habitat Authority in a simultaneous chain transaction. The land is located in the middle of a very narrow section of a wildlife corridor that extends from the 605 Freeway in the west, all of the way to the Santa Ana Mountains in the east. One benefit from this land linkage is that it helps to ensure a continuous pathway for migrating wildlife. http://www.habitatauthority.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Timeline-of-HA-Milestones-June-2013.pdf Schabarum Park: 1986 517 acres Powder Canyon Park: 1996 63 acres at end of 7th ave. in Hacienda Heights, 1996 Turnbull Canyon (from Rose Hills): 2002 Worsham Canyon, La Canada Verde and Arroyo Pescadero: 1995, 1996 Hacienda Hills Open Space: 1996 Sycamore Canyon: 106.7 acres bought in 1996-1997 MITIGATION PROJECTS ON THEIR LANDS, FINANCED BY OTHERS: http://www.habitatauthority.org/habitat-restoration/ Approximately 207 acres of Habitat Authority lands have been or are currently being restored/enhanced.

agencies. Restoration projects include coastal sage scrub and sycamore riparian habitats at the Hacienda Hills Trailhead; coastal sage scrub restoration on the former Unocal property (east of Colima Road in Arroyo San Miguel); the restoration of coastal sage scrub at the Arroyo Pescadero Trailhead; and the restoration of oak and walnut woodland, coastal sage scrub, native grassland, and riparian habitats in Powder Canyon. The Habitat Authority just successfully completed restoring approximately 15 acres of native habitat which used to be occupied by non-native eucalyptus woodland on either side of Colima Road. In 2007, the Habitat Authority completed a Resource Management Plan (RMP) http://www.habitatauthority.org/newsite/resource-management-plan/ that identified over 1,000 acres of restoration priorities --Powder Canyon: 60 acre restoration funded by SCE/Tehachapi Renewable Transmission Project http://www.habitatauthority.org/2016/09/60-acre-restoration-project-to-enhance-powder-canyon/ --East Colima-15 acres --Former Canlas property in Whittier, 8 acres --Former Diaz property, La Habra Heights, 25 acres --Former Unocal property, Arroyo San Miguel, 52 acres, to mitigate local development projects --Sycamore Canyon, 3.5 acres restored to mitigate development in Claremont ------------------------------

CHINO HILLS STATE PARK INTERPRETIVE ASSOCIATION land saved: http://www.chinohillsstatepark.org/about-chino-hills-sp/history early 1980s: Park Bond Acts supplied the first funds to acquire land for inclusion into the State Park. And thus it began, a 25 year effort of land preservation with numerous battles to protect the Park from surrounding developments and threats. Through the 1980s lands continued to be acquired with other Park Bond funds. The first cohesive battle was the preservation of a permanent connection between the Santa Ana Mountains to the State Park. This was the only remaining viable connection to the Park was through the Coal Canyon. This canyon had two properties that together linked the Mountains to the CHSP. The southern parcel, owned then by the St. Clair Company had already began the process of development and had received its entitlements for 1,550 homes. HFE, state and local elected officials worked to secure funding for the acquisition of the St. Clair parcel and it became a reality when money from 12 different funding sources, totaling $40 million was used in 2000 to buy the 649 acre canyon. The northern parcel, known as the Mancha property, had also already begun the process of development, which include not only homes, but industrial and commercial buildings too. Again, State Parks and others worked to secure $13.5 million to buy this 32 acre parcel. The preservation of Coal Canyon was significant for many reasons. It marked the first time in state history, land was purchased for preservation of a wildlife corridor. It also marked the first time in state history, Caltrans removed the on and off ramps for a wildlife corridor. Since Coal Canyon was now saved from development, other connections were essential to protect the integrity of the Wildlife Corridor. CHSP, at over 14,100 acres is the largest anchor of the hillside system, but 4,000 acres had also been preserved in the Puente Hills. Lands between the Chino Hills and the Puente Hills needed to be acquired, this land is called the Missing Middle. http://www.chinohillsstatepark.org/pdfs/CHSP-Map.pdf topo map http://www.chinohillsstatepark.org/about-chino-hills-sp/maps

http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=21967 In 1977, the California legislature passed a resolution directing California State Parks to conduct a study on acquiring Chino Hills land for park purposes. A local citizen group, Hills for Everyone, worked closely with California State Parks and the legislature to create the park with an initial acquisition of 2,237 acres. In 1984, the State Park and Recreation Commission officially declared the area a unit of the State Park System. Since that date, numerous land acquisitions from various private landowners have expanded the park to its present acreage. http://www.parks.ca.gov/pages/21299/files/chino%20hills%20finalgp.pdf park totals 11,770 acres as of 11/1998 1999 GENERAL PLAN -page3: 11/1981 first 2237 acres was acquired --p 10: Sonome Canyon, 965 acres, bought from Shell Oil in 11/1996 --1997: MWD added 19 acres as mitigation p. 23 of pdf: inholdings map p. 33 Rolling M Ranch, 1720 acres, was owned by Mollin Investment Co until sold to park in the 1980s ----------------------------

In 1970, Signal Landmark Corporation purchased more than 1,700 acres from the heirs of the gun club and proposed a large scale residential and commercial development, including more than 5,000 homes and a marina. In 1972 California passed the Coastal Act to protect coastal areas. In 1973 it was determined that a viable wetland existed at Bolsa Chica thus Signal Landmark deeded approximately 310 acres of land to the state, establishing the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve. The Department of Fish and Game worked to restore the reserve and created two nesting islands with a walk bridge that crosses Inner Bolsa Bay. In 1973 the dam that was built by the Gun Club was replaced with a tide gate and salt water flowed into Inner Bolsa Bay once again. Over the next 30 years with the combined efforts of governmental agencies, community organizations and the landowner, hundreds of acres of degraded wetlands were set aside for restoration. In 1997, under a state and federal interagency agreement, 880 of the remaining lowland portions of Bolsa Chica were purchases by the state of California using mitigation funds from the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach for the purpose of wetland restoration. http://web.csulb.edu/depts/geography/gps/page3.html MAP: https://www3.epa.gov/region9/water/wetlands/bolsa-chica/projectdescmap.html

MARGARITA PEAK PRESERVE - 1206 acres, elevation 3193ft - highest peak in San Diego County west of I-15. Closed to public due to sensitive habitat. It was acquired in 2007 through a partnership with Camp Pendleton, the California Wildlife Conservation Board (5/2007), and the Trust for Public Land. https://www.fallbrooklandconservancy.org/margaritapeak.html MONSERATE MOUNTAIN PRESERVE - 340 acres just east of I-15. 1.5 mile trail to top for views to ocean and mountains. The acquisition of this preserve started with 225 acres in 2000. More acreage was added

230

in 2003 and 2004 bringing the total to 340. https://www.fallbrooklandconservancy.org/landprotection.html FLC’s Monserate Mountain Preserve was created when a 307-acre mitigation bank was established by an agreement with the Heights of Pala Mesa Owners in 2000. MAP: https://www.fallbrooklandconservancy.org/monserate.html PALOMARES HOUSE AND PARK - 1.57 acres with historic farmhouse, gardens, memorial tile walkway and wildlife sculptures. In 1990, the house and surrounding 1.5 acres of land were donated to the FLC by

Otis and Linda Heald, Al and Flo Pinamonti, and Vince and Joy Ross. The house has been restored and a beautiful park now fills the rest of the property with an arboretum, wildlife sculptures and a memorial tile path through lovely gardens. MAP: https://www.fallbrooklandconservancy.org/palomares.html ROCK MOUNTAIN PRESERVE - 78 acres on Sandia Creek Rd. ~1.5mi N of Santa Margarita River. 1.5 mile looping trail to Bryant Creek and views. MAP: https://www.fallbrooklandconservancy.org/rockmountain.html https://www.fallbrooklandconservancy.org/landprotection.html in 2000, FLC expanded the Rock Mountain Preserve by using limited development. When the 38-acre parcel on the north side of Rock Mountain was listed for sale, FLC secured a low-interest loan from the Eddy Foundation, and purchased the land. Subsequently, we used the boundary adjustment process to consolidate 78 acres of high habitat value land, leaving two 8-acre parcels with some disturbed land to be sold later. The proceeds from these sales were used to repay the loan, create an endowment for the perpetual maintenance of the Rock Mountain Preserve, and add to our acquisitions fund. https://www.fallbrooklandconservancy.org/landprotection.html --we have acquired three preserves using funds from the California Transportation Commission’s Environmental Enhancement and Mitigation Program (EEMP). In 1993, the FLC was the first land trust in California to receive such a grant. We used the funds to expand the Los Jilgueros Preserve by acquiring a three-acre parcel at the southern end and to purchase, after lengthy negotiations, an exceptional 27-acre riparian area along South Mission Road. During this process the owners reduced their price by several hundred thousand dollars, and benefitted from the tax advantages of selling to a tax-exempt organization. The land became the Bonsall Preserve. Also acquired through grants were the Heller's Bend Preserve and the Stewart Crest portion of Monserate Mountain. Website checked 11/2/2017

These areas were acquired in the last decade for the protection of threatened and endangered species. We work with private property owners and local jurisdictions to minimize development impacts on these lands and others adjacent to the watershed. http://www.sanelijo.org/properties.html The reserve includes lands owned by the State of California, the County of San Diego, and San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy. The properties described on this page are those which are owned by the Conservancy There is no public access to these sensitive areas or trails leading to or within them (The SELC properties). All trails are on county public land within the reserve. https://www.sanelijo.org/stewardship The Conservancy currently owns more than 60 acres of habitat through fee simple ownership, and holds more than 45 acres of conservation easements over private and public property.

SELC WILDLIFE HABITAT PRESERVE, 15 acres, 1985 RIPARIAN HABITAT ON ESCONDIDO CREEK (15 acres) This 15-acre property along Escondido Creek, between Olivenhain and Rancho Santa Fe, was once owned by the Van Liew family. The family granted the property to Rancho Santa Fe Foundation in 1985 with the intent that the property should be preserved in perpetuity. In 2004, Rancho Santa Fe Foundation, the Conservancy, and California State Coastal Conservancy (4/2004) brokered a unique solution that resulted in San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy owning the preserve, and the purchase price being established as an operating endowment at Rancho Santa Fe Foundation to benefit San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy. Like Ford Wildlife Habitat Preserve, SELC Wildlife Habitat Preserve contains the mainstem of Escondido Creek. https://www.sanelijo.org/properties.html#003

ESCONDIDO CREEK CONSERVANCY MAP of saved land: https://escondidocreek.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/tecc-watershed-map.jpg land saved: http://escondidocreek.org/about/places-we-protect/ Places we Protect: THE ESCONDIDO CREEK CONSERVATION AREA Lands owned or managed by TECC in early 2015 consisted of approximately 1,300 acres, including lands located throughout the Escondido Creek watershed but primarily lands located in Elfin Forest. Conservation Area lands are protected by combination of fee ownership, conservation easements, and management agreements. In keeping with TECC’s founding and ongoing purpose, the primary management goal for all Conservation Area land is preservation of wildlife habitat. CIELO ESTATES, June 2015: In June 2015, through a partnership that teamed TECC with the State of California Wildlife Conservation Board (WCB) and The Conservation Fund (TCF), TECC was able to take ownership of the 256-acre Cielo Estates property. The property, previously entitled for 77 homes, will be preserved in perpetuity by TECC and managed as part of the Los Cielos Preserve. This preserve is bordered by the Rancho Cielo development to the south, the Elfin Forest Recreational Reserve to the east, Harmony Grove Rd. to the north, and preserved parcels on the southern slopes of Paint Mountain. Preservation of the Cielo Estates property helps to build the larger system of protected natural lands 233

under the region’s Multiple Species Conservation Program. In its grant award, the WCB said of the Cielo Estates property, it will “protect key regional wildlife linkages,..increase regional wildlife habitat corridors, and preserve core areas of habitat that support threatened and endangered species…” As part of the Los Cielos Preserve, Cielo Estates will be joined with earlier acquisitions, Cielo A, Cielo B, and Onyx Ridge, totaling 800 acres. CIELO DEL NORTE, Phase B, 2015: Combining grants and other funding totaling $13 million from California wildlife Conservation Board, SANDAG, and SDG&E, TECC was able to purchase the second phase of the Cielo Del Norte property in May of 2015. Like Phase A, this 242-acre property has been approved for development by the County Board of Supervisors. It is the heart of the gnatcatcher preserve and TECC will restore and manage it to enhance habitat for this threatened songbird. UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS, PHASE 1, 2014: At the end of 2014, the County of San Diego agreed to purchase the first phase (244-acres) of University Heights and preserve it as part of the San Diego County Park and Recreation Department’s Escondido Creek Preserve. TECC Holds option to buy another 258 acres from private party holding it, until funds are raised http://escondidocreek.org/current-projects/acquisitions/ http://escondidocreek.org/current-projects/acquisitions/#UH MJM RANCH, 2013: TECC owns a 92-acre conservation easement on this property north of the City of Escondido and adjacent to Daley Ranch. The property serves as off-site mitigation for the Harmony Grove Village development. CIELO DEL NORTE, PHASE A, 2012: TECC and The Conservation Fund bought 240 acres of the Cielo Del Norte property in Elfin Forest for $11.5 million with grants from the California Wildlife Conservation Board and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. CIELO AZUL, 2010: After decades of work by TECC, the 100-acre Cielo Azul property was permanently preserved. If developed as previously planned, homes could have been built on the popular “Way Up Trail” in the middle of the Elfin Forest Recreational Reserve! To achieve this milestone purchase TECC worked in partnership with The Conservation Fund (TCF), San Diego County Parks and Recreation, and the Olivenhain Municipal Water District (OMWD). In a complicated transaction, TECC contributed 45 contiguous acres of land worth $1.2 million (the former Coler property), TCF served as broker, OMWD agreed to become long-term manger, and the County of San Diego, Department of Parks and Recreation became the fee title owner. The Cielo Azul property is now managed as part of the Elfin Forest Recreational Reserve. BOTTLE PEAK, 11/2010: The California Wildlife Conservation Board (WCB) granted TECC $3.5 million to purchase 418 acres on Bottle Peak, the iconic landmark east of the city of Escondido at the headwaters of Escondido Creek. The County of San Diego subsequently purchased an additional 380 acres on the mountain, creating an 800-acre nature preserve in the upper watershed adjacent to the preserved lands of Lake Wohlford. FAMILY STATIONS, 2010: TECC bought 119 acres along Harmony Grove Road called the Family Stations property and transferred it to the County of San Diego. The Family Stations property creates an important habitat link from University Heights in the North to the Elfin Forest Recreational Reserve.

ONYX RIDGE, 2007: TECC accepted title and management responsibility for a 59-acre developer mitigation parcel located at the confluence of Escondido and Meisha Creeks, plus 12 acres of conservation easement. SAN ELIJO RIDGE, 2007: TECC accepted management responsibility for the 29-acre Venzano mitigation parcel located on Questhaven Road. GREENLANDS PRESERVE, 2007: TECC acquired a CE over the 73-acre Greenlands property located along Escondido Creek on the eastern slope of Paint Mountain which was set aside as mitigation for impacts from the Venzano development and various OMWD pipeline projects. LERICHE PROPERTY, 2004: TECC acquired the 10-acre LeRiche parcel along Harmony Grove Road, and then in 2013 donated the property to the County of San Diego parks dept. DEL DIOS HIGHLANDS, 2002: TECC bought 253 acres and transferred it to the County’s Del Dios Highlands Preserve. The preserve is an important wildlife linkage from the San Dieguito watershed to the Escondido Creek watershed. QUARRY PROPERTY, 2002-2011: TECC purchased 23-acres at the corner of Harmony Grove Road and Country Club Drive which contains a portion of Escondido Creek. It has allowed outside developers to mitigate their impacts by restoring habitats on the land COLER PROPERTY, 2001: TECC purchased 76 acres adjacent to the Elfin Forest Recreational Reserve with funds raised from the community and a San Diego Foundation matching grant. Thirty-one acres were eventually sold to the County of San Diego, Department of Parks and Recreation, and the remaining 45 acres were donated to the County of San Diego, Department of Parks and Recreation in 2010 as a match for its purchase of the 100-acre Cielo Azul property. In total, 176 acres were preserved. TECC retains management responsibility for seven acres of riparian habitat along Escondido Creek. ENHANCEMENT OF THE SMALL PARCEL CORRIDOR, 2000: TECC received a $2,000,000 federal grant for land acquisition within the Escondido Creek watershed, buying and donating 120 acres to County parks' Escondido Creek Preserve. BUMANN, 1998: TECC accepted title and management responsibility for the 21-acre Villas of Santa Fe mitigation parcel which includes a portion of Escondido Creek. In 2002, TECC allowed the site to be used by the Escondido Union School District for riparian restoration as mitigation for the development of two schools. The district removed invasive non-native plants and restored the native habitat along Escondido Creek. OLIVENHAIN RESERVOIR PROJECT, 1994: As mitigation for the impacts of dam construction, TECC successfully lobbied the Olivenhain Municipal Water District to place a conservation easement over 117 acres of wetland habitat along Escondido Creek. As mitigation for the construction of pipelines associated with the dam, TECC proposed and championed creation of the “Small Parcel Corridor” a string of parcels at risk of development but connecting valuable habitat along Escondido Creek to preserved lands in Carlsbad. Federal and State wildlife agencies and OMWD agreed with the concept, and eventually 104 acres were preserved. Although OMWD could have met its mitigation 235

requirements with the purchase of one larger parcel, it agreed to the added expense of several smaller acquisitions. This extra effort insured that open spaces in Carlsbad, in danger of becoming “islands of extinction,” would remain connected to the larger preserved lands along Escondido Creek, greatly increasing their value as wildlife habitat. SANTA FE CREEK DEVELOPMENT, 1992: Strong advocacy by TECC during the planning process for this 200-acre project resulted in 145 acres of dedicated open space – up from 40 acres in the original proposal. THE ELFIN FOREST RECREATIONAL RESERVE is a spectacular 784-acre open space park and recreational area, which was developed by the Olivenhain Municipal Water District (OMWD) --In March of 2008, The Escondido Creek Conservancy and OMWD partnered to create the Elfin Forest Interpretive Center MAP: https://escondidocreek.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/EFRR-trail-map2010.pdf http://escondidocreek.org/elfin-forest-recreational-reserve/ website checked 11/3/2017 Escondido Creek Conservancy; Acquisition of the University Heights Property , 500,000 2009-2010 CT-EEMP-SUBSTITUTION LIST Escondido Creek Conservancy, Acquisition of the Council Springs Ranch 2009-2010 CT-EEMP-INELIGIBLE Escondido Creek Conservancy, The; Acquisition of the MJM Ranch 350,000 2009-2010 CT-EEMP-SUBSTITUTION LIST #27.

THE ANZA BORREGO FOUNDATION park map: http://www.parks.ca.gov/pages/638/files/abdsp_Park_Map201704.pdf Since 1967 Land saved: over 54,000 acres purchases since 1998, valued at $23 million, made with public and private funds: http://www.theabf.org/saving-land When the Park was formed in the early 1930s, it was checkerboarded by thousands of acres of private land inholdings — one estimate is as high as 60,000 acres, which is 10% of the current Park! Since 1967, ABF has acquired more than 54,000 acres of inholdings and other properties to give to the Park. Acquisitions have been in critical areas such as Borrego Palm Canyon, Coyote Canyon and the Borrego Badlands, an area rich with paleontology. Looking to the future, ABF actively pursues acquisition of the remaining inholdings to make our Park whole and conserve wilderness areas in perpetuity. PURCHASES SINCE 1998: ABF has been able to acquire several major ranch properties that park planners long ago had hoped would become part of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. Below are some examples: SENTENAC: Sentenac Canyon and Cienega: This rare desert wetland area is located near Scissors Crossing, the

237

junction of highways S2 and 78. Funding for the 1,723 acres was provided by state and federal agencies, regional foundations and individual donors. LUCKY 5 RANCH: In 2001, the purchase of 2,675-acre Lucky 5 Ranch created a wildlife corridor between Anza-Borrego Desert State Park and Cuyamaca Rancho State Park, a mountain habitat. Funding was sparked by a $2 million anonymous donation and state and federal funds. In 2015, ABF acquired an additional 1,129.5 acres of the Lucky 5 Ranch and gained a conservation easement over the existing ranch house. In total, the 4,200+ acre parcel now provides a connection between the parks and Cleveland National Forest to the south. http://www.theabf.org/Lucky5PhaseII 2015: http://www.theabf.org/sites/default/files/abf_lucky_5_press_release_12.1.15.pdf Anza-Borrego Foundation (ABF), cooperating association of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, on December 1 announced the final elements in the conservation of the Lucky 5 Ranch in the Laguna Mountains, northeast of San Diego. ABF purchased just under 1,130 acres and obtained a conservation easement on 433 acres to fulfill decades-long efforts by California State Parks, ABF, The Nature Conservancy, and others to connect the 4,245-acre ranch to adjacent pieces of federal and state conservation land, creating a major parcel of exceptional natural beauty and biological importance. The acreage will eventually become part of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park.

See 2-27-2004 State Parks comm. minutes HORSE CANYON: In 2004, ABF and the Native American Land Conservancy jointly acquired and transferred to the Park 1,298 acres of Horse Canyon. The canyon, a tributary of Coyote Canyon, contains important archaeological sites and is part of bighorn sheep habitat. TULLOCH RANCH: In 2005, Another wildlife linkage was made with Cuyamaca Rancho State Park when the 2,080-acre Tulloch Ranch was added to Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. Funding was provided by state and federal programs and a private foundation grant. MAP: http://www.parks.ca.gov/pages/712/files/080602map.pdf ANZA TRAIL INITIATIVE: In 2006, the Anza Trail Initiative was launched to raise funds for the acquisition of inholdings located along the viewshed of the historic Juan Bautista de Anza Historic Trail, the route followed in 1775 by California’s first immigrants. Major funding is provided through the Resources Legacy Fund’s Preserving Wild California program and by California State Parks.

SAN DIEGUITO RIVER VALLEY CONSERVANCY http://sdrvc.org/ http://sdrvc.org/about/ non profit group home page has map

History In 1986, a group of citizens from Solana Beach and Del Mar created the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy. Over the years, we have assisted in acquiring over 3,500 acres of land, and accelerated the development of the Coast to Crest Trail. http://www.sdrp.org/wordpress/about/history/ 1986: San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy established as a non-profit 501(c)3 group raising funds for land purchases in the River Park. 240

1986: Friends of the San Dieguito River Valley established as a non-profit 501(c)4 advocacy group for protection of the River Valley. 1989: Conservancy successfully supports the establishment of the San Dieguito River Park Joint Powers Authority, a multi-governmental agency representing the six jurisdictions along the river corridor. http://sdrvc.org/what-we-do/conservation/ CONSERVANCY ACQUISITION PROJECTS The Conservancy frequently partners with organizations and agencies to purchase land within the planned 92,000-acre San Dieguito River Park as it becomes available for purchase. We especially focus on land that is at risk for real estate development. All land purchased by the Conservancy or with its partners is permanent protected open space. VOLCAN MOUNTAIN: 27 acres--In March 2001, the Conservancy closed escrow on 27 acres on the west slope of Volcan Mountain, which provides a connection from Volcan Mountain Preserve to Santa Ysabel Preserve East. Volcan Mountain is the headwater for four river systems, including the San Dieguito, San Diego, San Luis Rey and San Felipe Creek watersheds. It is rich in biodiversity with 30 different vegetation communities and a variety of wildlife, including mountain lions and golden eagles. • 3/2001: Acquired 27-acre parcel on the western slope of Volcan Mountain, east of Farmer Road, links Santa Ysabel Ranch West with the Volcan Mountain Preserve. Volcan Mountain is the headwater for four river systems, including the San Dieguito, San Diego, San Luis Rey and San Felipe Creek watersheds. It is rich in biodiversity with 30 different vegetation communities and a variety of wildlife, including mountain lions and golden eagles. • Acquired 95-acre protected parcel connecting Santa Ysabel Ranch West and the County’s Volcan Mountain Preserve • Provided funding for and assisted in the acquisition of the 420-acre Russell Homestead property. Our partners in this purchase were the Volcan Mountain Foundation, The Nature Conservancy and the County of San Diego. • Properties lie north of Julian on west-facing slope of Volcan Mountain, east and to the west of Farmer Road, north of Wynola Road • Adjoin the County of San Diego’s Volcan Mountain Preserve and connect with Santa Ysabel Ranch West, purchased by Nature Conservancy, and owned and managed by the County MAP: http://www.sdparks.org/content/dam/sdparks/en/pdf/BrochuresMiscellaneous/Volcan_Mountain_Broch ure_FINAL.pdf

1998: Conservancy raises $200,000 to match a national foundation grant to purchase and protect land on Volcan Mountain. LAKE SUTHERLAND: In 2000 and 2001, the Conservancy purchased 233 acres of land at Lake Sutherland, located northeast of Ramona and north of Highway 78. The purchase added to the 1,000 acres of open space owned by the San Dieguito River Park JPA in the area. Lake Sutherland East provides a vital wildlife habitat corridor and the ability to locate a future segment of the Coast to Crest Trail. 241

• The property was added to the River Park in late 2005 after The Conservancy obtained a major state grant and a conducted successful public fundraising campaign to complete the purchase • The 353-acre property is immediately east of Lake Sutherland and is a critical addition to the River Park; consolidating public ownership – completely surrounding the City of San Diego’s Lake Sutherland Reservoir Its part of a corridor connecting Lake Sutherland with the Santa Ysabel Ranch – more than 1,000-acres recently added to the River Park along this reach The property was purchased by the River Park in late-2005 as part of a team effort with The Conservancy and the national Trust for Public Land • The Conservancy and the River Park identified and obtained state grant funding to cover part of the purchase price • The Conservancy raised $350,000 in public contributions to complete the purchase

2005: Conservancy raises $340,000 in public donations and receives a state grant of $800,000 to purchase 352 acres of Lake Sutherland East. PAMO VALLEY: In 2013, the Conservancy purchased 40 acres in Pamo Valley for $110,000 raised by Conservancy supporters, one of two private inholdings surrounded by protected lands. This property sits just above the Pamo Valley segment of the Coast to Crest Trail that is being constructed by the San Dieguito River Park JPA. It has been owned by the Hodges family for more than 60 years, and is a great addition to the River Park. SAN PASCUAL VALLEY: CROWDER PROPERTY - SAN PASQUAL VALLEY • Acquisition of 75-acres just west of Wild Animal Park protects prominent feature in San Pasqual Valley, adjoining Cloverdale Creek River Park JPA purchased with State grant funds From the west, coming out of Escondido, the property serves as a Gateway to the 11,000 acres of the City of San Diego-owned agricultural preserve in the San Pasqual Valley --The Conservancy also acquired a 23-acre parcel located where the Santa Ysabel Creek and Guejito Creek join in the San Pasqual Valley in 2009. The property was acquired for future mitigation credit sales that will generate additional funding for other Conservancy land purchases. Because the property is at the intersection of two riparian corridors, it has special strategic significance and is rich in natural resources.

2000: Conservancy raises $500,000 to ensure the purchase of the 5,400-acre Santa Ysabel Ranch. BERNARDO MOUNTAIN The defining land feature for anyone crossing Lake Hodges on I-15 is Bernardo Mountain, seen to the north of the lake and west of the freeway. In 2001, the Conservancy launched a fundraising program to protect Bernardo Mountain from real estate development, and in 2002, Bernardo Mountain became permanent open space and a landmark within the San Dieguito River Park. In less than two months, 242

over 1,000 members of our community contributed more than $600,000 to match $3 million in grants to acquire Bernardo Mountain. Entire undeveloped portion of the mountain is in protected ownership – 232 acres purchased in 2002 by the Conservancy & River Park and the land on the western slope provided as mitigation for an earlier widening of I-5 Raised $625,000 from the community – within the 2-month deadline to complete the $4.1 million purchase The sale of mitigation credits on Bernardo Mountain by the Conservancy has generated funds for additional purchases within the River Park MAP: http://www.sdrp.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/15.06.24-Trail-Map-Lake-Hodges.pdf

2002: Conservancy partners with the River Park to raise $650,000 in just two months, which, along with state grants, is used to purchase 232 acres on Bernardo Mountain. DEL MAR - SAN DIEGUITO LAGOON The Conservancy owns four parcels along the River Path Del Mar in the City of Del Mar. These acquisitions were made between 2004 and 2009 and funded by generous Conservancy supporters. They are located east of the intersection of Jimmy Durante Boulevard and San Dieguito Drive.

The undeveloped lots are east of Jimmy Durante Blvd between San Dieguito Drive and the river channel • The Conservancy plans to purchase the remaining lots to ensure they remain undeveloped and to restore them as wetlands – their native habitat • Strategic property – across the river channel from the Lagoon Boardwalk, to the west of the Grand Avenue Bridge Viewing Platform, and a connection between Crest Canyon and Riverpath Del Mar and the Boardwalk segment of the Coast to Crest Trail • The Conservancy has purchased 4 of the 13 undeveloped lots; five of the remaining lots are owned by the City of Del Mar and one by Southern California Edison Conservancy is partnering with the City of Del Mar, which currently owns 5 of the parcels

Since 1989, through facilitation efforts of the Volcan Mountain Foundation (VMF) and it partners, more than 17,000 acres of land have been acquired from willing sellers, bringing conserved land within the range to approximately 31,000 acres.

VMF partnered with The Nature Conservancy and the County of San Diego to phase the acquisition which also resulted in adjacent lands being added to the Volcan Mountain Wilderness Preserve. In 2010, a 37 acre parcel adjacent to the former Hunters' Camp property was acquired by the Volcan Mountain Foundation, and parternship with conservation easement funds from the County of San Diego. In 2011, a 50.06 acre piece along an easterly-facing ridgeline was acquired through a generous $300,000 gift. Closing escrow on the same day was another 37.66 acquisition at the headwaters to Santa Ysabel Creek with a small cabin on it. --------------------------------

LAKESIDE RIVER PARK CONSERVANCY land saved: http://www.lakesideriverpark.org/About/LRPChistory.htm Incorporated in 2001, the Conservancy's main area of concern is Lakeside's segment of the river. Lakeside's River Park Conservancy acquires land by purchase from willing sellers and by donations. The first property acquired was 100 acres of former sand mining sites located adjacent to the San Diego River in Lakeside. Through grant funding, properties purchased will be restored to a functioning river system, a refuge for endangered species and an area for ground water recharge. 100 acres: Calmat before restoration. Through Park and Water Bonds, the Conservancy was awarded over $11.5 million in grant funding for land acquisition. The Conservancy purchased 80 acres of the former Vulcan Materials sand mining site (aka CalMat). This property is located to the south of the San Diego River in Lakeside, between Riverford Road and Wintergardens Blvd. Purchased at a fair market value of $8.6 million, we received this property in December 2003. Our second purchase was an additional 20-acres of the Vulcan Materials property, northwest of the Highway 67 and Wintergardens Boulevard exit. We closed escrow on the property, which sold for $2.2 million, in June 2004. Sand mining operations in Lakeside's segment of the San Diego River are slowly coming to an end, and the community is excited about the next phase of the river's life to begin. As a compassionate gesture, one local mining company, Hanson Aggregates, Inc., has committed to donating its 22-acre plant to Lakeside's River Park. This site will be deeded over to the Conservancy in phases as mining operations end.

BACK COUNTRY LAND TRUST http://www.backcountrylandtrust.org/ land saved: http://www.backcountrylandtrust.org/index.php/bclt-projects Oct 2011: The Back Country Land Trust (BCLT) began saving land in Descanso, CA. Charged with preserving ROBERT'S RANCH from development, the land trust successfully lobbied the United States Congress for federal Land and Water Conservation Funding. 750 acres of recreational trails and oak woodlands along Interstate 8 in Descanso are now protected for future generations. From there, the organization was handed over to a dedicated group of concerned citizens in Alpine, determined to save WRIGHT'S FIELD from the same predicament. For the past decade, we worked diligently to have WRIGHT'S FIELD added to the County's Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP) Plan, wrote public funding grant proposals for land acquisition, securing the number one, two and three spots on the State of California's Resource Agency Listing for EEMP grants (Environmental Enhancement and Mitigation Program funding), matching funding from the County of San Diego, and have been busy acquiring the land, creating education programs, and involving the community in land management. Building on our initial success, we move into the final phase of acquisition for Wright's Field. Under the leadership of County Supervisor Dianne Jacob, efforts to preserve Wright's Field have allowed the Back Country Land Trust and the community to leave a legacy for our children's children. Now is the time to complete this final purchase. Once we complete this final purchase, we'll formalize our education and stewardship programs, and expand our work with the community to manage local open space lands. We've additionally participated in the protection of 2,600 acres at Crest and worked with Pronatura, San Diego State University , and the International Community Foundation to protect watershed lands in Tecate. The preservation of Fanita Ranch in Santee is now completely organized by Save Fanita Ranch. Completed Projects

This included biology and Native American cultural artifact surveys. Among several species unique to San Diego’s Backcountry, the surveys also confirmed presence of the listed endangered Arroyo Toad and the Quino Checkerspot butterfly. A 131-acre portion is in escrow for sale to BCLT. BCLT has qualified to receive $550,000 in federal grant money via the U.S. Fish & Wildlife’s Section 6 funding program. It is awaiting final approval by the California Wildlife Conservation Board. http://www.bclt.org/images/docs/newsletters/summer2009.pdf

Using the BCLT’s Wright’s Field Preserve as a working science laboratory for backcountry students is as satisfying and important for the future as BCLT’s ability to sign an agreement with the Bureau of Land Management to donate nearly 500 acres in the Potrero/Hauser area of Las Californias to the People of the United States. --Alpine’s Mr. Tom Dyke. Mr. Dyke is BCLT’s most significant benefactor whether measured by cash support or by property value donation. His direct financial support in the 2002-2003 period allowed BCLT to rapidly expand its activities by funding the employment of professional staff. His 2006 property donation bolstered BCLT’s balance sheet to the extent it is now a significant player in the San Diego County environmental community. --As of year-end 2008, there were $5.4 million in assets; 70% or $3.9 million as land in Alpine (74% as Wright’s Field). Potrero/Hauser area land totalled $1.5 million (currently in the process of donation to the People of the USA via the Bureau of Land Management). http://www.bclt.org/images/docs/newsletters/fall2008.pdf Fall 2008 Page 2

BCLT donates land to the USA The BCLT has signed a Letter of Intent to donate 481 private acres of McAlmond Canyon in Las Californias near Potrero to the people of the United States of America (BLM). The value of this donation is a bit over $1,000,000. These lands are near the Hauser Mountain Wilderness Study Area in San Diego County; north-northeast of Barrett Junction. Funding for the BCLT’s purchase of the property was generously provided under a grant from Resources Legacy Foundation Fund. This donation represents Phase 2 in a series of donations. Phase 3, the BCLT donation of another 250 acres in the Potrero Valley Road area of Las Californias valued at $500,000 is also in the works with completion scheduled for 2009.

The trust consisting of 16 private owners is slated for land management by the Bureau of Land Management . Approximately 700 acres of these conserved lands are still owned by the Back Country Land Trust and surround the proposed Blackwater site. http://www.bclt.org/images/docs/newsletters/winter2007.pdf in 2006, we transferred $3,000,000 worth of land within Alpine’s Peutz Valley Watershed into conservation ownership (solely through land donations) and donated $1,092,000 worth of wild, natural wilderness lands in Potrero to the public

Tom Dyke was able to keep his 40-acre parcel, with spectacular views looking toward the El Capitan Reservoir (San Diego’s largest source of drinking water) (above Peutz Valley) from being developed by donating his land to BCLT, http://www.bclt.org/images/docs/newsletters/summer2006.pdf We had hoped with this newsletter to be sharing good news. What that meant to me is that we would have completed the acquisition for Wright’s Field and moved on to comprehensive land management. As it turns out, we couldn’t afford the nearly $5 million purchase price for the 142 acres we had under contract. The timing and price just weren’t right. ...With 230 acres in BCLT ownership, there are many exciting opportunities ahead for the existing Wright’s Field Preserve that include you! --We’ve just accepted a donation of 82 acres of natural open space within the Peutz Valley watershed. The donor, generous beyond our expectation, is also gifting to BCLT an endowment to provide for the long-term management of this land. There’s already a conservation easement in place with the County, and BCLT will work with the neighbors to see that this land is managed for its habitat, watershed, and cultural resource values. --Under Don's leadership, BCLT preserved almost 1,400 acres in San Diego’s back country worth an estimated $4,500,000.

The property is currently under threat of development. The property contains two year-round springs that feed the Peutz Valley Creek that drains into the El Capitan reservoir, San Diego’s largest municipal drinking water supply. The property also contains a significant diversity of habitats, including southern oak woodland, riparian woodland, chamise chaparral, mixed chaparral, Diegan sage scrub, and native grasslands. Numerous threatened and endangered plant and animal species occur on the site and there is a “globally significant” population of San Diego thorn mint identified by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The property is presently available for a relatively low price of $6,400 per acre. 2006-2007 CT-EEMP --------------------------

SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY: THE CALIFORNIA DESERT LAND CONSERVANCY, DBA MOJAVE DESERT LAND TRUST https://www.mdlt.org/ MAP OF WHERE THEY WORK: https://www.mdlt.org/lands/where-we-work/ 1-SURPRISE CANYON The fight to protect a hidden desert wetland in Surprise Canyon was assisted when MDLT acquired Panamint City mining claim properties at the top of the canyon. Since the closure of the former vehicle route, the canyon is now a treasured wilderness hike into Death Valley National Park. Remnants of the once bustling Panamint City mining claims are accessible to day hikers in the canyon. 2-SAGE CANYON MDLT’s acquisition in Sage Canyon included critical lands on the edge of the Kiavah Wilderness that were previously owned by a wind development company and are now protected. Most of the acquisition was transferred to BLM to be included in Kiavah Wilderness, however some lands have been held by MDLT to protect a world-class cultural site and vehicle access up Sage Canyon into the heart of the Wilderness Area. 3-BRIGHT STAR WILDERNESS This 160-acre acquisition along Kelso Creek was the last remaining privately-held land in the Bright Star Wilderness. Located in the southern reach of the Sierra Nevada, the Bright Star Wilderness represents important transition habitat between the West Mojave and the high mountain forests. Canyons like Kelso Creek are important to migrating birds and other wildlife like mule deer and mountain lions. 4-PACHALKA SPRING Located at the foot of the Clark Mountains, Pachalka Spring provides year-round water in an otherwise arid landscape. Native cottonwoods and willows provide habitat for a variety of birds including indigo buntings and Western tanager. Property acquired by MDLT will be permanently protected as part of the Mojave National Preserve. 5-MOJAVE NATIONAL PRESERVE INHOLDINGS Mojave National Preserve at 1.6 million acres is the 3rd largest Park Unit in the continental United States and yet thousands of private parcels of land are contained in its boundaries. The ongoing acquisition of these inholdings in the Preserve were an early focus of MDLT’s work, including the first parcel acquired in the Devil’s Playground. MDLT’s scope of work here has included the acquisition of sand dunes and natural springs. These lands are transferred to the Park Service for permanent protection. 6-HIDDEN VALLEY 3,330 acres have been acquired in this cleverly hidden valley tucked within the Cady Mountains. Following an attempt in 1990s to permit the land as a hazardous waste dump, Hidden Valley Resources, Inc. retained the property. MDLT acquired the lands in 2011, which include outstanding bighorn sheep habitat. These lands will

256

be held by MDLT for permanent stewardship protection. 7-CHEMEHUEVI VALLEY MDLT’s newest acquisition program centers on acquiring tortoise habitat in the East Mojave. In the Chemehuevi Valley we are working to secure important conservation lands located in the Mojave Trails National Monument. Securing these lands helps protect the places where desert tortoise and other animals live and roam and provides outstanding opportunities for desert solitude. 8-OLD WOMAN MOUNTAINS WILDERNESS One of the biggest threats to wilderness in the California desert is the development of private lands within designated Wilderness Areas. MDLT has partnered with the BLM in the Old Woman Mountains Wilderness to acquire thousands of acres of these private lands and transfer them for permanent management as wilderness. Amazement abounds here, including the key feature for which the mountains are named – the granite spire “old woman statue” on a prominent ridgeline. 9-NOLINA PEAK-638 ACRES Added to Joshua Tree National Park by donation in 2008, this square mile of magnificent yuccas and other flora and fauna is named for its spectacular Nolina plant, a relative of the Agave plant. The local community came together to support this acquisition as MDLT’s first big public support campaign. This acquisition is a good example of how a straight-line Park boundary may omit quality viewsheds, wildlife and public areas –the Nolina Peak acquisition remedied this omission. 10-MORONGO BASIN WILDLIFE LINKAGES The conservation of wildlife linkages in the Morongo Basin is an excellent example of conservation partnerships. This land is the gateway to the Village of Joshua Tree and is important to the 29 Palms Marine Corps Base for securing its strategic airspace. It also plays a central role as a wildlife corridor connecting Joshua Tree National Park with open space lands to the north. While a few parcels will be transferred to Joshua Tree National Park, MDLT serves as the permanent steward of much of this land, including the location of our Headquarters within the wildlife linkage along Highway 62. 11-JOSHUA TREE SOUTH CANYONLANDS INHOLDINGS More than a dozen remote desert canyons lead from the high elevations of Joshua Tree National Park down into the Coachella Valley. In 1994, more than half of these canyonlands were privately owned. Since then, MDLT and other conservation partners have acquired tens of thousands of acres. As a result of these acquisitions, the Park Service is now managing the area as wilderness. Several canyons remain open to controlled vehicle travel; all canyons are open to hikers and backpackers. 12-CHUCKWALLA BENCH Located in the Sonoran desert, the Chuckwalla bench is home to desert forests containing ironwood, palo verde, and ocotillo. These woodlands contain an incredible array of other plants and animals including the desert tortoise and the elusive burro deer. The bench also hosts a great variety of public access trails for off-road exploration, camping, and hiking. MDLT has acquired over 350 separate properties to hold in permanent conservation. THE ABOVE ARE UPDATES FROM WEBSITE 10/5/2017 https://www.mdlt.org/about/ Has conserved more than 60,000 acres of prime desert habitat, forever weaving together National Parks, wilderness areas and wildlife linkage corridors. https://www.mdlt.org/about/history/

RLC Purchases Top of Mt. Rubidoux--Page 3Winter 2013/2014 On April 11, 2013, RLC became the winning bidder to purchase 0.43 acres at the top of Mt. Rubidoux, one of Riverside’s beloved icons. While the remaining 17 acres of Frank A. Miller Mt. Rubidoux Memorial Park remain a city-owned park, the City sold the top to avoid a threatened lawsuit by Americans United for Separation of Church and State. RLC joined with Friends of Mt. Rubidoux and the Mission Inn Foundation and Museum to raise the funds necessary to purchase the property and provide for its ongoing stewardship http://www.totallymtrubidoux.org/ they paid $10,500 for 0.43 acres PACHAPPA HILL, 6 ACRES CLARK, SAN TIMOTEO CANYON http://www.riversidelandconservancy.org/index.php/projects/san-timoteo-canyon Through the generosity of two landowners in the center of the canyon, Gale Anne Hurd and Ernest Clark Jr., almost 1,300 acres of land in the Canyon have been transferred to the new state park unit in 2002. Since that beginning, RLC has partnered with the Western Riverside County Regional Conservation Authority (RCA) to bring over 2,100 acres into public ownership http://www.riversidelandconservancy.org/images/pdfs/rlc_fall_2012_newsletter.pdf

On May 9, RLC closed escrow on approximately 80 acres on the northeast side of San Timoteo Canyon.

Riverside Land Conservancy manages 55 acres for conservation along the Prenda Arroyo and in the adjacent hills (southeast of city of Riverside), MAP land saved: http://www.riversidelandconservancy.org/index.php/about-us/history Since 1988 RLC has conserved over 12,000 acres through land purchases, donations and land use restrictions on fragile natural landscapes. http://www.riversidelandconservancy.org/index.php/projects/land-revolving-fund The Conservancy continues to work in the desert areas of Riverside, San Bernardino, and Imperial Counties to purchase sensitive habitat acreages surrounding federal wilderness areas, National Preserves, and designated desert tortoise habitat. The majority of these land purchases are made through County delinquent tax sales. By purchasing land for the cost of delinquent taxes, RLC is able to preserve these lands at a cost of a fraction of their true value. These sites are eventually sold to Bureau of Land Management or National Parks for perpetual stewardship. To date, over 1,937 acres of sensitive desert habitat lands have been preserved through this program. http://www.riversidelandconservancy.org/index.php/projects/dehli-sand-fly-management The sand dunes, which originally covered an area of about 40 square miles, have dwindled to 2% of their original area.

RLC has accepted two conservation easements, totaling 174 acres, for burrowing owl foraging habitat in the Imperial Valley. We expect to complete our review and accept a third easement, covering 213 acres, by the end of December. http://www.riversidelandconservancy.org/images/pdfs/rlc_fall_2012_newsletter.pdf

Among the lands under RLC’s stewardship are about 95 acres situated along portions of various arroyos in Riverside http://www.riversidelandconservancy.org/images/pdfs/rlc_fall_2012_newsletter.pdf

Wilson Valley : RLC has acquired 120 acres within the Agua Tibia Wilderness Area of the Cleveland National Forest. Funding for this purchase came from the Department of Defense and the Regional Water Quality Control Board, San Diego Region. http://www.riversidelandconservancy.org/images/pdfs/rlc_newsletter_spring_2012.pdf We currently have 1,500 acres in escrow and are negotiating with owners of over 2,000 acres. http://www.riversidelandconservancy.org/images/pdfs/rlc_newsletter_fall_2011.pdf

RLC accepted 36 acres of mitigation properties in Riverside and San Bernardino counties, including 25 acres of Delhi sands flower-loving fly habitat highlighted on page 5. The Riverside Land Conservancy currently has another 1,500 acres (four properties) in escrow, which we hope to acquire by the end of 2011. And we’re negotiating to purchase an additional 1,700 acres sometime in 2012. http://www.riversidelandconservancy.org/images/pdfs/rlc_newsletter_fall_2011.pdf

Riverside Land Conservancy currently holds title or conservation easements on seven properties, totaling about 100 acres, which are preserved and managed as DSF habitat http://www.riversidelandconservancy.org/images/pdfs/rlc_newsletter_fall_2011.pdf In March 2011, RLC received title to 25 acres of Delhi sands flower-loving fly habitat located in San Bernardino County. This brings the DSF lands that RLC currently manages and stewards to over 106 acres. The 25 acres just obtained by RLC are comprised of three separate parcels. Two of the properties provided mitigation for development projects; one property was purchased with special grant funding intended to preserve endangered habitats. All three parcels were held by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation for several years until a permanent property owner and manager could be identified.

The acquisition culminates 4 years of negotiations between Riverside Land Conservancy and the property owner, Standard Dredging, a New Jersey corporation that held the property for potential development uses. The 137 acres, including the south face of Jurupa Mountain, were purchased using a combination of county and federal funds. The acquisition was made difficult by the fact that the parcel owned by Standard Dredging included an additional 32 acres on the northwest corner of the property that are a part of the Stringfellow Acid Pit site. RLC was able to coordinate with the State to allow those 32 acres to be donated directly to the State of California Department of Toxic Substance Control (DTSC), which has responsibility for the cleanup efforts at Stringfellow. Funds were only spent to acquire the 137 acres of natural open space land. http://www.riversidelandconservancy.org/index.php/projects/community-regional-resource-conservation-plans Jurupa Mts parcel map http://www.riversidelandconservancy.org/index.php/projects/community-regional-resource-conservation-plans 130 acre acquisition at Jurupa Mts ---------------------------------------------IN SOLEDAD CANYON/now owned by City of Santa Clarita and Santa Clara Watershed RCA: http://www.riversidelandconservancy.org/images/pdfs/rlc_newsletter_spring_2011.pdf

 San Jacinto Mountains (including the Chino Cone area) and Santa Rosa Mountains alluvial fans (in La Quinta, Oasis, Thermal and Vista Santa Rosa, as well as Palm Hills) – contain cultural resources, scenic resources within and adjacent to the National Monument and significant habitat values for Peninsular bighorn sheep, along with future recreational options.  Stubbe Canyon corridor – includes significant wildlife corridor between the San Jacinto and San Bernardino Mountains, sand transport essential areas and high quality riparian habitat, as well as trail alignment opportunities. (Approximately 80% of the potential conservation acquisitions here have been completed.)  Lake Cahuilla shoreline – protects this unique historical shoreline and important cultural resource area from potential development and connects it to other conservation areas. (Approximately 90% complete.)  Sand transport areas in Willow Hole, Thousand Palms and Edom Hill areas – where many parcels are in the CVFTL Preserve/Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC), providing excellent habitat for CVFTL, Coachella Valley milkvetch, Coachella valley round-tailed ground squirrel, and Palm Springs pocket mouse. Many sites contain cultural resources and could provide trail alignment opportunities; there is a significant threat of development for many properties. (Approximately 50 % complete.)  Thermal Canyon/Mecca Hills/Orocopia Mountains Wilderness areas – in the Joshua Tree National Park Wildlife Movement Corridors, which include significant desert dry wash woodland and the I-10 scenic gateway area; and the Paradise Valley site should it become available. (Approximately 50% complete.)  Joshua Hills inholding (Section 30) – contains habitat, public access to future State Park facilities and maintaining the “wilderness” quality of this area. (Approximately 90% complete – prior acquisitions were the former Cathton property and several earlier Joshua Hills projects.)  Dos Palmas area – contains existing valuable habitat as well as future potential linkages for wildlife movement and connects to other publicly owned land in the Dos Palmas ACEC. Due to location near the Salton Sea, it also may facilitate future cooperative projects that allow funds to be leveraged.  East Valley Canyon Protection Project (EVCPP) – portions of the Desert Tortoise/Linkage, Mecca Hills/Orocopia Mountains, West Deception Canyon and the Indio Hills/Joshua Tree National Park Linkage Conservation Areas, which contain significant habitat as well as potential linkages for wildlife corridors at the mouths of significant canyons. They also contain significant historical resources due to their proximity to the Colorado River Aqueduct and represent future trail opportunities.  Any project area – transfers of previously acquired land to federal agencies to relieve management obligations and/or receive repayment of CVMC grants, which then can be used to purchase additional properties. Approved by the Coachella Valley Mountains Conservancy Board on November 4, 2013.

http://cvmc.ca.gov/strategic-plan/ Since its inception in 1991, the Conservancy has accomplished the following:

Direct Acquisitions (Title vested in State of California acting by and through the Conservancy, including conservation easements. To minimize management costs to the state, the Conservancy takes title only when absolutely necessary.) 4,659 acres – Acquired with grant funds and local matching funds, donations, and Proposition 12 funds. Partnership Acquisitions (Multi-entity funding partnerships assembled by the Conservancy; title vested in another entity) 17,984 acres- The Conservancy contributed highly-leveraged Proposition 12 or Proposition 40 funds to acquisitions; the bulk of the funding came from partners who also took title. Acquisition Grants to Other Entities (Acquisitions funded by Proposition 12 and 40 grant funds without significant contributions from other entities) 7,133 acres- Grants with Prop 12 and Prop 40 funds Facilitated Acquisitions (Acquisitions involving no Conservancy funds, but the Conservancy facilitated the acquisition through such means as helping the acquiring entity secure funds, negotiating the transaction with the landowner, or securing and assigning options to purchase) 16,441 acres - Entities whose acquisitions were assisted by the Conservancy include Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Forest Service, Wildlife Conservation Board, Center for Natural Lands Management, Wildlands Conservancy, Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, City of Palm Desert, Coachella Valley Association of Governments, and the Friends of the Desert Mountains. Under contract to the Coachella Valley Association of Governments, the Conservancy has also prepared the MSHCP, which is expected to be adopted by local cities, the County, Caltrans, and an array of special districts in 2007. This Plan identifies an additional approximately 160,000 acres (as of 2006) of land to be acquired and added to existing conservation lands to create a 725,000 acre system of conserved lands. A variety of funding sources, including development mitigation fees, transportation mitigation fees, landfill tipping fees, and state and federal contributions will fund acquisition and management of these lands in perpetuity. The passage of a state bond measure in November 2006 will provide $36 million to the Conservancy for land acquisition, ensuring that the Conservancy will continue to do its part in conserving important open space lands and helping to implement the MSHCP. http://cvmc.ca.gov/webmaster/Documents/Conservation%20Area%20Map-2014.jpg map http://cvmc.ca.gov/webmaster/Documents/Conservation%20Ownership%20Map-2014.jpg --------------------------

The California Wildlife Conservation Board will hopefully ignore the protests from the owner of hundreds of thousands of acres of redwoods to the north and south of the 50,000 acre Usal Forest, and then commit about $20 million to preserve the Usal land. The protestors, the Fisher Family of San Francisco who own the Gap clothing stores, as well as Banana Republic and Old Navy stores, also own both Humboldt Redwoods co., formerly known as Pacific Lumber, and the Mendocino Redwood Co. totaling nearly 400,000 acres of redwoods on the northern California coast. Formerly owned by Georgia-Pacific lumber co., the Usal Forest land was sold to Hawthorne Timber, which then sold it to the local Redwood Forests Foundation (http://rffi.org/) with a loan from Bank of America.
