To help threatened wildlife in Sacramento County, study the issues and

become active in your local government. We have many pressing issues because

development is always being proposed for sensitive wildlife areas now zoned for ag, and because

CEQA mitigation for Swainson's Hawk foraging habitat in Sacramento and Yolo

Counties and elsewhere is inadequate. Today's action items are:

• Sacramento County: Swainson's Hawk Mitigation Ordinance

Update Hearing May 11 at 6 p.m. Ask Supervisors to

Adopt Staff Recommendations

• City of Sacramento, Natomas:

Widen the buffer at Fisherman's Lake

Galt: Learn more about a proposal to develop a key habitat

area north and west of the City of Galt

Elk Grove: Elk Grove recently adopted a new and much improved

mitigation program for Swainson's Hawk. It still has a problem

with buying land to mitigate for the development impacts to date.

 

Email us to let us know that you want to be included in the

email action alert list for either or both of these areas

(South County and/or Natomas).
