Notes
Habitat was completed destroyed (bulldozed) for sage replanting.
Why does the Habitat need to be bulldozed, before planting Sage.
Cutting the grass or other methods could be deployed. 30+ Kings, 15+ Helleri, 1+ Coachwhip, TMTC Ringnecks, and 15+ Gophersnakes, and 1 two striped garter snake, were observed in the area bulldozed over a 5 year period. All buried alive. This kind of Habitat management is NOT acceptable.
