the distribution, status, and condition of sensitive natural
resources.
Wildlife 2: Cooperate with federal, state, and local agencies and
with open space organizations to promote effective and efficient
park and regional vegetation, habitat, and wildlife resource
management.
Wildlife 3: Prepare and conduct surveys and inventories of
natural resources in areas subject to development. Avoid or
reduce negative impacts to sensitive resource areas and follow all
applicable regulations and guidelines for minimizing adverse
impacts from new facilities development.
Wildlife 4: Control and/or eradicate non-native animal species,
such as bullfrogs and feral pigs, that have been identified by State
Park biologists and/or park managers as creating significant
impacts to special status wildlife species such as the federally
listed as threatened California red-legged frog. Use methods that
are based on sound principles of ecosystem management and
that are consistent with the Department’s Non-Native Animal
Control Policy (DOM, Chapter 0300, Natural Resources, Section
0311.5.7.1). Priority for control efforts will be given to those
species most detrimental to the environment and for which there
is a reasonable probability of success.
