Title

Proposed Habitat Enhancement and Fire Protection Project on the Canebrake Ecological Reserve, Kern Co. CA

Description

The Department proposes to employ habitat enhancement activities and fire protection measures to improve habitat for wildlife species and reduce or eliminate potential catastrophic effects to surface values of the Canebrake Ecological Reserve (CBER) and adjacent private properties from a wildfire event. The project will involve conducting a controlled burn, implementing limited livestock grazing, collecting data, and constructing a pond within the 800-acre Sprague Ranch Unit of the CBER, plus constructing firebreaks in strategic areas along the CBER perimeter to protect adjacent properties.
