Lazy K Ranch
Merced & Madera Counties
Vanishing Vernal Pools Protected
This unique project created a solution which blends together
a mitigation preserve for species habitat and the creation of critical
vanishing vernal pools and wetlands. Mike and Sherry Knapp, along with
their son Larry, initiated this project to provide for long term
sustainability for their ranching operation and to maintain the threatened
habitat and species on their property. The Knapps worked with John Vollmar of
Vollmar Consulting, recognized for its expertise in all aspects of vernal pool
assessment, construction and monitoring to complete this project. Vollmar
Consulting put the mitigation preserve deal together among the Knapps,
Rangeland Trust and a developer, along with the US Fish and Wildlife Service
and US Army Corps of Engineers. This 93 acre project ensures the preservation
of seasonal wetlands and vernal pools, San Joaquin kit fox habitat, and California adult tiger
salamander migration and sheltering habitat. Most notably, this mitigation
easement is part of a larger ranch where the Knapp family plans to enter into
additional mitigation easements.
