INTRODUCTION 1.1 REGULATORY BACKGROUND The purpose of this report is to provide background information regarding botanical resources within the Horseshoe Pond Restoration Project area (Proposed Project Area). Point Reyes National Seashore (Seashore) is preparing an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Proposed Project. Background information in this report will be used to guide development and assess potential environmental impacts of the Proposed Project. As part of the EA, the Seashore must consider whether the Proposed Project could impact special status plant species, as well as special status wildlife species and other sensitive biological resources such as wetlands and riparian areas. Special status plant species include those that are legally protected under the federal and California Endangered Species Acts (ESA) or other regulations and species that are considered rare by the scientific community. Special status species are defined as: • plants that are listed or proposed for listing as threatened or endangered under the California ESA (Fish and Game Code §2050 et seq.; 14 CCR §670.1 et seq.) and/or the federal ESA (50 CFR 17.11 for animals; various notices in the Federal Register [FR] for proposed species); • plants that are candidates for possible future listing as threatened or endangered under the federal ESA (61 FR 7506 February 28, 1996); • plants that meet the definition of rare or endangered under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (14 CCR §15380) which includes species not found on state or federal endangered species lists; • plants that are designated as “species of concern” (former category 2 candidates for listing) by the U.S.

Trails and greenways provide the facilities for these activities. Our surveys of Californian’s recreational use patterns over the years have shown that our variety of trails, from narrow back-country trails to spacious paved multi-use facilities, provide experiences that attract more users than any other recreational facility in California. Th e increasing population and desire for trails are increasing pressures on the agencies charged with their planning, maintenance and management. As leaders in the planning and management of all types of trail systems, California State Parks is committed to assisting the state’s recreation providers by complying with its legislative mandate of recording the progress of the California Recreational Trails Plan. During the preparation of this progress report, input was received through surveys, two California Recreational Trails Committee public meetings and a session at the 2011 California Trails and Greenways Conference. Preparation of this progress Above: Director Ruth Coleman report included extensive research into the current status of the 27 California Trail Corridors, determining which of these corridors need administrative, funding or planning assistance. Research and public input regarding the Plan’s twelve Goals and their associated Action Guidelines have identifi ed both encouraging progress and areas where more attention is needed.

  • California State Parks Western Snowy Plover Management 2009 System-Wide Summary Report
    California State Parks Western Snowy Plover Management 2009 System-wide Summary Report In 1993, the coastal population of western snowy plover (WSP) in California, Washington and Oregon was listed as a threatened species under the Federal Endangered Species Act due to habitat loss and disturbance throughout its coastal breeding range. In 2001, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife (USFWS) released a draft WSP recovery plan that identified important management actions needed to restore WSP populations to sustainable levels. Since California State Parks manages about 28% of California’s coastline and a significant portion of WSP nesting habitat, many of the actions called for were pertinent to state park lands. Many of the management recommendations were directed at reducing visitor impacts since visitor beach use overlaps with WSP nesting season (March to September). In 2002, California State Parks developed a comprehensive set of WSP management guidelines for state park lands based on the information contained in the draft recovery plan. That same year a special directive was issued by State Park management mandating the implementation of the most important action items which focused on nest area protection (such as symbolic fencing), nest monitoring, and public education to increase visitor awareness and compliance to regulations that protect plover and their nesting habitat. In 2007 USFWS completed its Final Recovery Plan for the WSP; no new management implications for State Parks. This 2009 State Parks System-wide Summary Report summarizes management actions taken during the 2009 calendar year and results from nest monitoring. This information was obtained from the individual annual area reports prepared by State Park districts offices and by the Point Reyes Bird Observatory - Conservation Science (for Monterey Bay and Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area).
