Daley Ranch Vernal Pool Conservation Bank
The 665-acre Daley Ranch Vernal Pool Conservation Bank is located south of Oroville at the base of the Sierra Nevada Foothills in an unincorporated portion of Butte County, California. The Bank was approved in 2007 by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to offer vernal pool preservation conservation credits for permitted impacts within its approved service area.
The Bank is managed and maintained to ensure that the vernal pool landscape benefits the continued existence and recovery efforts for the vernal pool fairy shrimp, vernal pool tadpole shrimp and California linderiella while providing habitat for other locally important species including golden eagles (Aquila chrysaetos), prairie falcons (Falco mexicanus), white-tailed kites (Elanus caeuleus) and Ferruginous hawks (Buteo regalis). The Bank property is permanently protected by a recorded conservation easement and a dedicated, non-wasting endowment account.
