Agricultural Conservation Strategy Portal
The YNHP conservation
plan has an agricultural conservation strategy component, which
incorporates farm and range land into the habitat conservation goals
for Yolo County. Items in the Portal relate to this topic.
Agricultural Forecasting Analysis
A
Presentation of the
Agricultural Forecasting Analysis was given to the YNHP Steering
Advisory
Committee on August 10, 2009. A second presentation on the
background for the model was given at the "Seventh Annual Workshop:
Habitat Conservation Planning from Tahoe to the Bay"
(Northern
California Conservation Planning Partners, November 18, 2009).
The model is still being developed
and will enable a long-term forecast of how agricultural land serves as
habitat based on a variety of factors. These presentations

Agriculture-Habitat Interface Working Group
The Agriculture-Habitat Interface Working Group is a sub-group of the
YNHP Steering Advisory Committee. In their 2008-2009 meeting cycle,
they prepared a set of tables on “Agricultural Activities and
Practices” for all the major crops in Yolo County (including
Agricultural Flood Control and Water Supply Activities) for use as
background for the YNHP agricultural conservation strategy.

reports can be downloaded by clicking the links below.

on habitat conservation issues related to agriculture. The
summary was presented to the YNHP Steering Advisory Committee on June
14, 2010. This report can be downloaded by clicking the link
