  • Conservation Profiles: Landowners Help
    n the three decades since the Endangered Species Act became law, we've become more aware of the crucial role landowners play as stewards of our country's natural resources. According to Precious Heritage, a report by The Nature Conservancy and the Association for Biodiversity Information (now NatureServe), two-thirds of the species federally listed as endangered or threatened have habitat on private land. Most landowners are good stewards of the land. They're not just reaping the benefits of the land; they also care about the land itself. The purpose of this brochure is to introduce some of the landowners who are using two innovative conservation tools: Safe Harbor Agreements and Candidate Conservation Agreements with Assurances. Although these tools only came into use within the last decade, and many landowners are not yet familiar with them, they already have demonstrated benefits for both landowners and imperiled species. A brief explanation of how these conservation tools work and how they can benefit landowners follows, but more can be learned about the agree- ments from the participating landowners themselves, a few of whom are profiled in this document. These pages introduce only a tiny segment of the diverse group of landowners currently participating in these programs.

CHAD MAYES Minority Floor Leader Republican Leader DANIEL ALVAREZ E. DOTSON WILSON Secretary of the Senate Chief Clerk of the Assembly THE STATE FLAG The Bear Flag was designated California’s State Flag by legislative enactment in 1911. It is patterned after the historic flag flown at Sonoma on June 14, 1846, by a group of American settlers in revolt against Mexican rule in California. This short-lived revolution ended on July 9, 1846. The general design and details of the Bear Flag are set forth in Section 420 of the Government Code. FOREWORD The California Legislature is privileged to present this compilation of historic documents. Taken together, these compacts, treaties, and charters embody the ongoing evolution of our core principles of representative democracy. It is important to note that our state Constitution is a living document. It has been amended over 500 times since its adoption in 1879. Some recent amendments have included a change to California’s Term Limits law through the passage of Proposition 28 (2012), the California Legislature Transparency Act enacted by Proposition 54 (2016) enhances public access to the legislative process, and with the adoption of Proposition 25 (2010), the vote threshold to pass the state budget is now a majority vote.

  • Caher Macnaghten in the Barony of Burren, County Clare, Western Eire
    CAHER MACNAGHTEN IN THE BARONY OF BURREN, COUNTY CLARE, WESTERN EIRE By James Macnaughton A “Caher”(Cathair, Cashel) is an ancient stone-built Ring Fort of which there are around 40,000 examples scattered throughout Ireland, but mainly in the North and West. They were built during the Iron Age (800BC – 400AD) and served as protective forts for a small community and its livestock during “hit and run” raids by cattle thieves – like the Scottish Brochs. The more elaborate the walls and banks, the higher the status of the occupants, and some had links with nobility or Kingship. They were also used as a home for a freeman and his family – possibly for industrial purposes – for example pottery trading. Caher Macnaghten, two miles from Noughavel, is reasonably well preserved, having been constructed from big limestone blocks. It has immensely thick walls – 10 feet wide and stands 20 feet tall. Not far away is Mullaghmore, a mountain used for ritual purposes where everyone gathered to celebrate Lammas, Hallowe’en, St. Brigid’s Day and Mayday (Lughnasa, Samhain, Imbolc and Bealtaine). So far, so interesting, but the fascinating factor is the name of this particular Ring Fort in the Burren – Caher Macnaghten. We are familiar with the Macnaghtens of County 1 Antrim – our present Clan Chief, Sir Malcolm F. Macnaghten is of that ilk – who went over from the Mull of Kintyre around 1580 with Shane Dubh, but not only is the Burren in County Clare in Eire a long way to the South West of Antrim, but Caher Macnaghten was built between 800BC and 400AD, a

IV., c 99. Their origins pre-date this act, they were used in the assessments of local taxation under the Grand Juries. Over time many were split into smaller units and a few were amalgamated. Townlands and parishes - smaller units - were detached from one barony and allocated to an adjoining one at vaious intervals. This the size of many baronines changed, albiet not substantially. Furthermore, reclamation of sea and loughs expanded the land mass of Ireland, consequently between 1851 and 1861 Ireland increased its size by 9,433 acres. The census Commissioners used Barony units for organising the census data from 1821 to 1891. These notes are to guide the user through these changes.
