Vision

• Limit development to ensure permanent protection of wildlife and agriculture. Establish preserve lands as part of a mosaic of private agricultural lands, airport buffer lands and parks

• 1000 acre preserve areas to surround Fisherman's Lake, Northern Sacramento County (surround "snake alley") and 2500 acres in western Sutter portion of Natomas Basin

• vegetated and protected canals linking preserve areas, and ag lands, with pedestrian access on canal maintenance roads to allow appreciation of nature in the Basin

• no more development in the Swainson's Hawk zone; Sacramento International Airport stays within its present fence

• community participation in planning and protecting wild resources, land use, floodplain and water resource

• restoration of riparian areas like Fisherman's Lake, Pritchard's Lake and Jacob Slough and permanent preservation of riparian areas like Natomas Mutual Water Company ponds

• Basin wide monitoring of species health

• Major tree planting program (thousands of new trees in the basin)

• Enforcement of mitigation requirements on all development

• Revenue sharing and joint land use planning for compact and efficient urban land use and permanent protection of agricultural lands
