San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy gets $1.5 million for habitat restoration in Rancho Santa Fe

The San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy received a $1.5 million grant from the California Wildlife Conservation Board to restore 12.5 acres of riparian habitat in Rancho Santa Fe. The three-year project includes removing invasive trees, such as eucalyptus and palms, and non-native plants, including reeds, and planting native species on a quarter-mile stretch of riparian habitat north of Lusardi Creek and east of the Arroyo Preserve.

The project is expected to provide habitat for two endangered birds, the least Bell’s vireo and light-footed ridgeway’s rail, and offer animals access to conserved land areas for mammals such as the American badger, mountain lion, coyote, bobcat, mule deer and gray fox. Neighboring land includes the Crosby Habitat Management Area, Lusardi County Park, San Dieguito Lagoon and several undeveloped private properties.
