The Sierra de La Giganta is a semi-arid region in the southern part of the Baja California peninsula of Mexico. Traditionally, this area has been excluded as a sector of the Sonoran Desert and has been more often lumped with the dry-tropical Cape Region of southern Baja California peninsula, but this classical concept of the vegetation has not previously been analyzed using formal documentation.

Summary The Santa Ysabel Ranch Open Space Preserve was established in 2001 from a purchase by The Nature Conservancy from the Edwards Family; the Ranch is now owned by the County of San Diego and managed as a Department of Parks and Recreation Open Space Preserve. It totals nearly 5,400 acres and is comprised of two parcels; an "East Ranch” and a "West Ranch". The East Ranch is east of the town of Santa Ysabel (and Highway 79 running north) and is bordered on the east by Farmer's Road in Julian.

  • Biological Resources
    Section 4.8 Biological Resources 4.8.1 Introduction In Riverside County, variation in topography, elevation, soil and climate create conditions for a wide variety of natural communities, each with its own assemblage of native plant and animal species. This section focuses on the natural communities and species of greatest concern to regional, state and federal agencies, and on the impacts that could arise from implementation of GPA No. 960. In EIR No. 441, certified for the original RCIP General Plan in December 2003, the biological resources chapter analyzed the “potential biological impacts that would occur in the absence of the western Riverside County and Coachella Valley MSHCPs.” Since then, both Multi-Species Habitat Conservation Plans (MSHCPs) have been approved and are in full implementation. The impacts of GPA No. 960 within the respective coverage areas for the two MSHCPs are discussed below. Analysis is also provided for biological impacts and species that are not covered by the MSHCPs. In 2000, a description of the existing biological setting of Riverside County was prepared as part of the RCIP process. The resultant portion of the 2000 Existing Setting Report, Chapter 4.2, is used as the baseline for descriptions of the biological resources within Riverside County, with the acres of natural community types updated per new data sources as cited. Information from the RCIP effort (which led to the adoption of the 2003 RCIP General Plan) and new vegetation coverage data derived from the Western Riverside County MSHCP (WRC-MSHCP), Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (CV-MSHCP), are used in the assessment of impacts.

We would like to thank the many individuals and agencies that supported this project. Many datasets, including Geographic Information Systems data, were critical components of this assessment and were provided to us by Barbara Bowles and Jack Johnson (Bureau of Land Management), David Lashlee and Valerie Morrill (Yuma Proving Ground), Bob Henry (Arizona Game and Fish Department), and Susanna Henry (Kofa National Wildlife Refuge). Numerous staff from the Arizona Game and Fish Department (Region IV-Yuma), Bureau of Land Management Yuma Field Office, Kofa National Wildlife Refuge, and Yuma Proving Ground generously offered us their time and valuable advice in several meetings and subsequent correspondence. In particular, we would like to thank Karen Reichhardt and Roger Oyler (Bureau of Land Management), Russ Engel, Bob Henry, and Bill Knowles (Arizona Game and Fish Department), Ron Kearns (Kofa National Wildlife Refuge), and Valerie Morrill and Randy English (Yuma Proving Ground) for all the input they provided us with in meetings, phone calls, and emails.
