Land Management Plan Part 2 Los Padres National Forest Strategy September 2005 understanding of the relationships of geologic resources and hazards to ecologic functions and patterns as they apply to the management of National Forest System lands and the effects of fire. • Conduct integrated inventories of ecologic functions (ecological unit inventory) at the scale appropriate to the need. • Complete invasive nonnative plant and animal inventories based on regional protocol methods. • Work with the appropriate agencies and academic sources to develop protocols and survey guidelines, gathering current information and identifying additional research needs for resource management. Implement research as opportunities occur. Priority wildlife studies: • Ecological revegetation and restoration and mine reclamation techniques. • Effects of nonnative species and effects of management activities on threatened, endangered, proposed, candidate, and sensitive species habitat. • Effects of cowbird interactions on vireos and flycatchers. • Best methods for removal of exotic species (i.e., bullfrog, etc.). • Results of the removal of non-native species from threatened, endangered, proposed, candidate, and sensitive species habitat. • Effects of off-highway vehicle disturbances and other recreation activities on wildlife. • Validation of use of habitat linkages. • Effects of forest product removal on other resources. • Effects of management activities on oak regeneration. • Additional information on species-specific habitat use and distribution on National Forest System land. • Validation of watershed standards for cumulative effects (less than 20 percent manipulation/yr and less than 40 percent over five years). • Effect of Sudden Oak Death on other natural resources and potential for increased wildland fires. Linked to National Strategic Plan Goal 6 - Mission related work in addition to that which supports the agency goals, objective 1; and Goal 5 - Improve watershed condition, objective 3. Page 110

Prevent listing of proposed and sensitive species. • Implement priority conservation strategies (see Table 530. Los Padres NF Conservation Strategy). • Use vegetation management practices to reduce habitat loss due to catastrophic fires. • Work with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries to develop recovery plans for federally listed species. Implement Forest Service actions as recommended in recovery plans for federally listed species. • Establish and maintain a working relationship with county and city planning departments to ensure coordination on those development projects that are in close proximity to the national forest. • Coordinate with California Department of Fish and Game regarding fish stocking and nonnative fisheries management to implement measures to resolve conflicts with threatened, endangered, proposed, candidate, and sensitive species and habitats. • Cooperate with federal and state agencies and non-governmental organizations, to conduct educational, interpretive, and other management activities to reduce the use of lead ammunition and other sources of toxic materials that are harmful to wildlife.
