  • Final Report: 2019 Western Snowy Plover Breeding in Coastal Northern California, Recovery Unit 2
    Final Report: 2019 Western Snowy Plover Breeding in Coastal Northern California, Recovery Unit 2 E.J. Feucht1, M.A. Colwell1, K.M. Raby1, J.A. Windsor1, and S.E. McAllister2 1 Wildlife Department, Humboldt State University, Arcata, CA 95521 2 6104 Beechwood Drive, Eureka, CA 95503 Abstract.—In 1993, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service listed the Pacific coast population of the Western Snowy Plover (Charadrius nivosus nivosus) as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. For the 19th consecutive year, we monitored plovers in Del Norte, Humboldt, and Mendocino counties in northern California (designated Recovery Unit 2 [RU2]). In this report, we summarize results from the 2019 breeding season and present a preliminary analysis on apparent survival of the local population using 19 years of mark-recapture data. In 2019, 72 adults (34 males, 38 females) bred in RU2, a 14% increase from 2018 and 48% of the recovery objective. First-time breeders made up 35-44% of the population, including 10-17 immigrants and 15 philopatric birds. Plovers nested on seven beaches (six in Humboldt and one in Mendocino) and fledged chicks at five locations. The sites with the most breeding plovers were South Spit of Humboldt Bay (n=30) and Centerville Beach (n=15). In total, plovers initiated 75 nests, hatched 100 chicks, and fledged 58 juveniles. For the fourth consecutive year, South Spit was the most productive site with 72% hatching success (23 of 32 nests) and 59% fledging success (37 of 63 chicks). Fledglings from South Spit made up 64% of the RU2 cohort, a percentage that has increased approximately 10% each year since 2016.

Direct staff to assist as needed. DISCUSSION /JUSTIFICATION: Del Norte County has previously corresponded with California State Parks over Off-Highway Vehicle access restrictions imposed on land adjacent to and within Tolowa State Park without adequate public due process. The board of Supervisors previously requested State Parks reopen the issue and propose a specific format for the suggested community dialogue. The California Department of Parks and Recreation replied to that request nine months later and has indicated that they feel their staff took adequate steps to invite public discourse on the issue. No additional action was proposed. The Blue Ribbon Coalition has requested the County take appropriate formal action in support of recreationists to address issues at Tolowa dunes State Park and Kellogg beach. The Del Norte County Board of Supervisors has taken steps to reopen the issue and involve the public with no cooperation from State Parks.

  • WPLI Resolution
    Matters from Staff Agenda Item # 17 Board of County Commissioners ‐ Staff Report Meeting Date: 11/13/2018 Presenter: Alyssa Watkins Submitting Dept: Administration Subject: Consideration of Approval of WPLI Resolution Statement / Purpose: Consideration of a resolution proclaiming conservation principles for US Forest Service Lands in Teton County as a final recommendation of the Wyoming Public Lands Initiative (WPLI) process. Background / Description (Pros & Cons): In 2015, the Wyoming County Commissioners Association (WCCA) established the Wyoming Public Lands Initiative (WPLI) to develop a proposed management recommendation for the Wilderness Study Areas (WSAs) in Wyoming, and where possible, pursue other public land management issues and opportunities affecting Wyoming’s landscape. In 2016, Teton County elected to participate in the WPLI process and appointed a 21‐person Advisory Committee to consider the Shoal Creek and Palisades WSAs. Committee meetings were facilitated by the Ruckelshaus Institute (a division of the University of Wyoming’s Haub School of Environment and Natural Resources). Ultimately the Committee submitted a number of proposals, at varying times, to the BCC for consideration. Although none of the formal proposals submitted by the Teton County WPLI Committee were advanced by the Board of County Commissioners, the Board did formally move to recognize the common ground established in each of the Committee’s original three proposals as presented on August 20, 2018. The related motion stated that the Board chose to recognize as a resolution or as part of its WPLI recommendation, that all members of the WPLI advisory committee unanimously agree that within the Teton County public lands, protection of wildlife is a priority and that there would be no new roads, no new timber harvest except where necessary to support healthy forest initiatives, no new mineral extraction excepting gravel, no oil and gas exploration or development.

  • Northern California Coast Northern Focus Area
    14.1 Description of Area 14.1.1 The Land The Northern California Coast - Northern Focus Area is composed of coastal Del Norte and Humboldt counties. The boundary extends eastward from the Pacific coast to the top of the first inland mountain range, and encompasses many of the region's existing and former wetlands. The focus area also includes a few important riparian and floodplain areas adjacent to major coastally draining rivers (Figure 13). In this northernmost California County, the coastline tends to be composed of rocky cliffs and high bluffs which rise steeply into the coastal mountain ranges with their deeply cut 14.0 canyons. Two major rivers drain the interior mountain ranges and empty into the Pacific Ocean within the boundary of Del Norte County: the Smith River, which has its origins in north- eastern Del Norte County and southern Oregon, and the Klamath River with headwaters much farther to the NORTHERN north and east in south central Oregon. Humboldt County, to the south, includes portions of CALIFORNIA the California Coast Range and the southern Klamath Mountains. The most extensive coastal wetlands are associated with floodplains in the lower Eel River COAST─ Valley and the Humboldt Bay area. Other significant wetland habitats include Mad River Estuary, Little River Valley, Redwood Creek Estuary, Big Lagoon, NORTHERN Stone Lagoon, and Freshwater Lagoon. Major rivers and streams draining the mountain ranges of Humboldt County include the Eel River, Van Duzen FOCUS AREA River, Mad River, Trinity River, Klamath River, Mattole River, Bear River, and Redwood Creek. Like the Klamath River, the Trinity and Eel rivers have large drainage basins within the Coast Range and the Klamath Mountains.

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.
