Today, the Countywide Vision Environment Element Group consisting of experts in environmental protection, land use, infrastructure, utilities, business and regulatory agencies met to discuss the initiation of a countywide habitat preservation and conservation study.
The study will help develop a recommended comprehensive structure and approach to the preservation and conservation of habitat for threatened and endangered species in a way that is beneficial for the health of the environment, the economy, and the citizens of San Bernardino County.
Dudek, an environmental and engineering consulting firm hired by San Bernardino Associated Governments (SANBAG) to complete the study this year, will facilitate the Group’s input into the creation of conservation strategies.
Dudek will collect and evaluate information about existing conservation efforts throughout the County over the next several months.
The Environment Element Group will act as ambassadors to the study by providing feedback to Dudek, assisting with gathering data and reports and reviewing documents produced during the process.
Anyone with valuable information about historical and ongoing conservation planning efforts anywhere in the county is encouraged to contact Stephanie Standerfer at Dudek – sstanderfer@dudek.com.
