Robert M. Weygandt has been a member of the Placer County Board of Supervisors for ten years, currently serving his third four-year term. He represents the western sector of Placer County including the communities of Lincoln, Sheridan and the majority of Rocklin. Robert has been avidly involved in Placer Legacy—a program to protect land, water and open spaces within Placer County. Robert will be sharing the proposed Habitat Conservation Plan and Natural Community Conservation Plan (HCP) for western Placer County. Placer County and its partner agencies – the Placer County Water Agency, the Placer County Transportation Planning Agency, and the City of Lincoln – are in the early stages of preparing a Habitat Conservation Plan under the Federal Endangered Species Act and a Natural Community Conservation Plan under the California Natural Community Conservation Planning Act. Creating a Placer County Conservation Plan (PCCP) would define where and how open space is managed by specifically planning how we protect and manage our habitat and natural areas. The PCCP is an essential tool enabling us to build a vision that ultimately preserves the open and rural character of Placer County. The HCP/PCCP could outline conservation measures for up to 34 species, one of which being the Steelhead Trout.Come and join us for this timely presentation on a crucial subject that will have broad implications for the future of our area and the fly-fishing habitats that are our mission to protect. |
