Burton Mesa Ecological Reserve Land Management Plan

Document Description: The project is a Land Management Plan for the 5,200 acre Burton Mesa Ecological Reserve in northern Santa Barbara County. The property is owned by the State of California, administered by the State Lands Commission, and managed, under a 49-year lease by the California Department of Fish and Game. The Land Management Plan guides management of habitats, species, and programs to achieve the Department's mission to protect and enhance wildlife values. It serves as a guide for appropriate public uses of the property, and provides a descriptive inventory of fish, wildlife and native plant habitats which occur on or use the property. It provides an overview of the property's operation and maintenance, and personnel requirements to implement management goals. It serves as a budget planning aid for annual regional budget preparation. It provides a description of potential and actual environmental impacts and subsequent mitigation which may occur during management, and contains environmental documentation to comply with state and federal statutes and regulations.
