Yolo Habitat Conservancy

https://www.yolohabitatconservancy.org
The mission of the Yolo Habitat Conservancy is to conserve natural and working landscapes, and the species on which they depend, by working with local communities and conservation partners to coordinate mitigation and implement regional habitat conservation. The Yolo Habitat Conservancy is a joint powers agency comprised of the County of Yolo and the cities of Davis, West Sacramento, Winters, and Woodland.

The Yolo Habitat Conservancy is seeking landowners interested in establishing a habitat conservation easement on their land. Landowners with actively cultivated agricultural land, rangeland, and/or natural lands (e.g., riparian corridors, wetlands, oak woodlands) are encouraged to apply. All proposed sites must be consistent with the Yolo HCP/NCCP, a countywide conservation plan that preserves habitat for the Western Burrowing Owl and many other species.
