Goal: Maintain, enhance and restore coastal sage scrub, native grassland and forblands, and manage nonnative grassland on Conserved Lands in the MSPA that supports or has the potential to support VF species (i.e., cliff spurge, Palmer's goldenbush, San Diego barrel cactus, snake cholla, Blaineville's horned lizard, California gnatcatcher, grasshopper sparrow, San Diego black-tailed jackrabbit) and to incidentally benefit a diverse array of other species (e.g., San Diego thornmint, Quino checkerspot, burrowing owl, coastal cactus wren, golden eagle, Stephen's kangaroo rat) so that populations of these VF and other species are resilient to environmental stochasticity, threats and catastrophic disturbances, very large wildfires, invasive plants and prolonged drought, and will be likely to persist over the long term (>100 years).
Management units: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
In 2019, begin implementing long-term San Diego black-tailed jackrabbit monitoring as specified in the San Diego Black-tailed Jackrabbit Monitoring Plan. Prepare a report detailing jackrabbit and habitat and threat assessment results and with site specific vegetation management recommendations.
