Draft Sycamore Canyon Goodan Ranch Preserve Resource Management Plan
The County of San Diego Department of Parks and Recreation is pleased to announce the availability of the Draft Sycamore Canyon Goodan Ranch Preserve (Preserve) Resource Management Plan (RMP) for public review and comment.
This RMP has been prepared as a guidance document to manage and preserve the biological and cultural resources within the Preserve, and to meet the requirements of the County’s Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP). As part of the RMP effort, biological and cultural surveys were conducted in 2012 to characterize the baseline conditions of the Preserve needed to develop future management and monitoring efforts. The vegetation communities on the Preserve include coast live oak woodland, southern maritime chaparral, southern willow scrub, chamise chaparral, southern mixed chaparral, southern riparian woodland, Diegan coastal sage scrub, and non-native grassland. These vegetation communities support multiple sensitive species including: coast horned lizard, orange-throated whiptail, northern harrier, western bluebird, coastal California gnatcatcher, Cooper’s hawk, southern California rufous-crowned sparrow, golden eagle, mountain lion, and southern mule deer.
If you have any questions, please contact Megan Hamilton, Group Program Manager at (858) 966-1377. Please send your comments to the attention of Ms. Hamilton, via mail at 5500 Overland Avenue, Suite 410, San Diego, CA 92123; via fax to (858) 495-5841; or via e-mail to megan.hamilton@sdcounty.ca.gov by June 10, 2013.
