  • Administration of Barack Obama, 2016 Proclamation 9396—Establishment of the Sand to Snow National Monument February 12, 2016
    Administration of Barack Obama, 2016 Proclamation 9396—Establishment of the Sand to Snow National Monument February 12, 2016 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation The Sand to Snow area of southern California is an ecological and cultural treasure, a microcosm of the great geographic diversity of the region. Rising from the floor of the Sonoran Desert to the tallest peak in southern California, the area features a remarkable diversity of plant and animal species. The area includes a portion of the San Bernardino National Forest and connects this area with Joshua Tree National Park to the east, knitting together a mosaic of spectacular landscapes stretching over 200 miles. The mountain peaks of the Sand to Snow area frame the northeastern reach of Coachella Valley along with the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument to the south. Home to desert oases at Big Morongo Canyon and Whitewater Canyon, the area serves as a refuge for desert dwelling animals and a stopover for migrating birds. The archaeological riches of the Black Lava Buttes and the historical remains of mining and ranching communities tell of past prosperity and struggle in this arid land. The unbroken expanse is an invaluable treasure for our Nation and will continue to serve as an irreplaceable resource for archaeologists, geologists, and biologists for generations to come. The Sand to Snow area encompasses a rich diversity of geological and ecological resources, including a nearly 10,000-foot elevation gradient from the Sonoran Desert floor to the top of the 11,500-foot San Gorgonio Mountain, the highest mountain in southern California.

    SAWA 2012 ANNUAL REPORT Former Arundo infestation mixed with native habitat on the mainstem in SAWA’s Hidden Valley project area. About SAWA For nearly 17 years, the Santa Ana Watershed Association (SAWA) and its partners have been promoting a healthy Santa Ana River watershed for the wildlife and the people who inhabit it. The watershed spans approximately 2,600 square miles and ranges in elevation from 11,500 feet to sea level through five distinctive life zones. The watershed lies in one of Earth’s 25 Biodiversity Hotspots—areas rich in flora and fauna that are threatened by human activity. A major goal of SAWA is to restore the natural functions of the watershed through the enhancement and restoration of the native riparian community. This is accomplished by the removal of exotic species and the management of existing resources, including both habitat and wildlife species. The largest thre at to the riparian habitat within the Santa Ana Watershed is takeover by invasive species, notably Arundo donax . This exotic plant is highly aggressive and has invaded much of the watershed, out-competing native vegetation and having drastic impacts on the wildlife. Removing Arundo is difficult and complex, requiring multiple treatments and intensive monitoring. SAWA’s comprehensive eradication efforts include identification and mapping of exotic species, initial biomass removal, post treatment, and intensive biological surveying during all stages of eradication. Most importantly, SAWA monitors the removal areas long after the Arundo has been eradicated to ensure that native vegetation and wildlife are recovering and that there is no return of the invasive species.

    Wandering April 2018 Tattler Volume 67, Number 7 The Voice of SEA AND SAGE AUDUBON, an Orange County Chapter of the National Audubon Society The Year of the Bird GENERAL MEETING by Doug Lithgow, President Friday evening, April 20th - 7:30 pm The National Audubon Society is partnering with National Geographic, BirdLife International, and the Cornell Lab of “Tree Care for Ornithology to proclaim 2018 as the “Year of the Bird.” Sea and Birds and Sage Audubon celebrates birds every year, as it’s who we are, but this year also marks the 100th anniversary of the Migratory Other Wildlife” Bird Treaty Act (MBTA), one of the most important and effective pieces of legislation ever passed to protect birds. Audubon presented by strongly supported the MBTA back in 1918 when it passed. Unfortunately, the MBTA is currently being weakened by the Andrew Trotter Department of the Interior with their re-interpretation of this landmark law that blocks the Department from holding Sea and Sage Audubon is a industries accountable for bird deaths. Audubon has been partner of the Tree Care for Birds and Other Wildlife very vocal in expressing its view that this reinterpretation is project in California, which has developed best wrong. Along with celebrating birds, we are now engaged management practices to reduce harm to birds. In this in trying to protect the very law that protects our avian life. presentation by Andy Trotter, he will discuss: the qualifications of a good tree care company, industry With partnerships, we are able to greatly broaden our audience pruning standards, why arborists recommend removing for discussing birds and conservation.

  • Chino Hills State Park Raptors
    California Department of Parks and Recreation I. Introduction Birds of prey, also known as raptors, are important members of most terrestrial biological ecosystems. As carnivores, raptors generally exist at high trophic levels consuming other species that are either primary (herbivores) or secondary (omnivores or carnivores) producers. Because they occur at relatively high trophic levels, where toxic compounds are sometimes concentrated, raptors can be good indicators of system-wide pollution problems. Furthermore, presence or diversity of raptor species can be used to estimate whether or not habitat reserves or linkages are properly functioning (sustained high species diversity at many trophic levels). Conversion of native habitats to urban landscapes in southern California has placed increasing pressure on maintaining functional ecosystems within conserved habitats. Chino Hills State Park (CHSP) is important for conservation purposes because it provides a large habitat block, and remains as one of the few wildlife linkages between northeastern Orange, northwestern Riverside, and southwestern San Bernardino Counties. At Chino Hills State Park, raptors utilize many different habitats. They feed on small mammals, snakes, lizards, amphibians, invertebrates, and birds, hunting in open vegetation. Nest sites occur in diverse settings including rock ledges, riparian trees and vegetation, grasslands and human introduced features (e.g., Eucalyptus trees, utility poles). Understanding of the species composition, and abundances of raptor species and their reproductive success (from monitoring nesting locations), will support conservation management decisions at CHSP. Additionally, information regarding raptor populations at CHSP will support region-wide habitat conservation and management efforts. The purpose of this study was to identify the distribution and abundance of nesting birds of prey at CHSP, and to provide baseline data and a monitoring framework to observe changes in their distribution and abundance over time.
