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.
