Success! PCCA & the Prairie Falcon Conservancy have been awarded
a Cooperative Agreements Grant to study the Prairie Falcon!
The PCCA (our parent organization) and the Prairie Falcon Conservancy (PFC) have been awarded a three-year (2019 – 2022) grant to study the Prairie Falcon in the high desert of Kern & Inyo counties! The grant application was submitted to the California State Parks, Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation (OHMVR) Division, Grants and Cooperative Agreements Program. Our study, extended as a result of this grant award, is looking at the relationship between Prairie Falcon occurrence and off-highway vehicle (OHV) use on Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands in the Jawbone-Butterbredt Area of Environmental Concern (ACEC) and along the eastern slope of the Southern Sierras where limited OHV use is allowed. Thank you to everyone who took the time to comment on and thereby help us improve our grant application.
Additionally, and importantly, we have also been awarded funds to assess the occurrence and breeding density of the
California Species of Special Concern LeConte’s Thrasher (Toxostoma lecontei) within the ACEC.

Date of this Published Notice: 23 December 2019.
