The Sierra Cascade Foothills Area Conservation Report is a comprehensive examination of the wildlife, vegetation, and hydrology of the Sierra Cascade Foothills Area—with identification of possible climate change considerations. Prepared for the Sierra Cascade Land Trust Council, its focus includes lands between approximately the 500–3,000 foot elevation. The results are data synthesized from new and existing research, including 35 maps of important natural resources.
We believe that the Conservation Report will provide the scientific justification and rationale to help land trusts and local planning bodies prioritize increased land and water conservation efforts on local and regional scales. Further, SCLTC envisions that the Conservation Report will provide the basis for funding initiatives to focus foundation, agency, and public attention on the critical need for increased land conservation in the Sierra Cascade region.
Funding for the Conservation Report was provided by the Sierra Nevada Conservancy, an agency of the State of California, and the Richard and Rhoda Goldman Fund.
Just added: Pivot Table Worksheet, presenting acreage data for each county by vegetation type.
