Summary
Description
In this CCP for San Bernadino and Leslie Canyons NWRs, an ecosystem approach is adopted to achieve the goals of the refuges over a 15year timespan. Much emphasis is placed on working cooperatively with the local community, private landowners, and other jurisdictions, including Mexico. Developing partnerships with these various entities will lead to overall land and water protection and is a primary focus throughout this plan. Habitat management will be centered around the water resources for the protection and enhancement of native fish populations and other threatened, endangered, and candidate species that rely on these wetland environments. Additionally, native grassland restoration to reduce invading woody species and increase overall biological diversity will be emphasized.
