Article abstract: This Natural Resource Management Plan (NRMP) fulfills the City of San Diego’s (City) Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP) requirement to develop Area-specific Management Directives (ASMDs) for the protection of natural resources at Mission Trails Regional Park (MTRP) (see MSCP Implementing Agreement Section 10.6.B, City Subarea Plan Section 1.5.6, and Final MSCP Plan Section 6.3). MTRP is a core biological area and regional wildlife corridor within the MSCP’s Multi-habitat Planning Area (MHPA) and is managed to achieve the goals of the MSCP.

Purpose: The specific objectives of the NRMP are to: • Update sensitive species and habitat mapping. • Develop management guilds (management units based on habitat groupings with similar life-history requirements and/or threats) for groups of species and/or habitats. • Identify and prioritize threats to sensitive species and habitats. • Document current understanding of natural systems and species life history requirements using conceptual models. • Develop conservation and enhancement goals for individual populations/habitats and/or management guilds based on MSCP conditions of coverage (MSCP Plan Table 3-5). • Develop specific management actions (e.g., ASMDs) within an adaptive management framework to address the identified threats and ensure long-term, viable populations of these species within MTRP. • Develop protocols (e.g., data collection methods, success criteria) to evaluate adaptive management techniques and projects proposed in this plan.
