Wilson Creek Habitat Restoration Plan

The WCHRP is located near the community of Aguanga in Riverside County, California. This 19.4 acre area of Wilson Creek supports riparian woodland and scrub habitats, as well as alluvial sage scrub communities. The WCHRP provides compensatory mitigation opportunities for impacts to federal and state regulated jurisdictional areas by offering individual conservation easements within the 19.4 acre area. The size and mitigation requirements of each individual conservation easement are typically determined by the regulatory agencies, and are done so on a project-specific/project impact basis.
