Residential Development Mitigation: East Sheridan Mitigation Preserve

Community growth in Placer County, California has brought a need for new home developments. One builder ran up against a lack of timely mitigation alternatives. Wildlands stepped in and provided a fast and cost-effective solution, by creating a new mitigation preserve east of the town of Sheridan.

The East Sheridan Mitigation Preserve encompasses gently rolling grasslands and swales, with a vernal pool complex spreading over 300 acres. A combination of vernal pool preservation and creation credits enabled the developer to meet his permit requirements and proceed with the project.
