Several special status and regionally endemic species have been documented in the
vicinity of the subject parcels including, but not limited to: Least Bell’s vireo, western
spadefoot toad, loggerhead shrike, and burrowing owl. Additionally, the California
Natural Diversity Database documents several plant species in the vicinity including:
San Fernando Valley spineflower, slender mariposa lily and round-leaved filaree.
The northern subject parcels abut an approximate 6.9 acre MRCA-owned parcel,
APN 3247-017-902, that contains an Interstate 5 undercrossing.
Preservation of the combined 250 acres represents an integral linkage of the Sierra
Madre-Castaic Connection.
