Document Description: CA State Parks proposes to restore ecosystem processes that are crucial to the viability of endangered species and their habitats in the 1285-acre Inglenook Fen-Ten Mile Dunes Natural Preserve of MacKerricher State Park by removing artificial structures that impede natural sand and water movement and treating invasive weeds. The project would open up approximately 250 acre of nesting habitat for the federally listed western snowy plover and 60 acres (24.3 ha) of native dune vegetation, including portions that support the federally listed Howell's spineflower and Menzies' wallflower.
