CARCD WCB Climate and Wildlife Project - El Dorado & LRPPG
Implementation
The El Dorado Ranch Park is located in the City of Yucaipa California and it is owned and managed by the City. This property was selected as part of the CARCD WCB Climate and Wildlife Project and 1.5 acres of the property will be uplifted and restored with native species that provide pollinator habitat for the Monarch butterflies. Currently, the site is mostly covered with invasive weeds that will be treated and removed prior to the installation of native vegetation. The uplift and restoration of the 1.5 acres will also provide habitat for native wildlife.

Project Themes
The project will reestablish native habitat that is more resilient to droughts and climate change compared to other invasive and nonnative species. This will help build a more resilient habitat.
Educational field trips and community involvement will be conducted in order to educate young students and the general public about the importance of conservation.
This project will create habitat the is critical for the Monarch butterfly. Additionally, it will create habitat for other native species in the area.
