Monterey County Condor and Other Wildlife Habitat Repaired
Foundation: Community Foundation for Monterey County
In recent weeks, "Range of the Condor" has finished rebuilding territory that had been destroyed by previous wildfires. The group owns around 400 acres of property and is responsible for the conservation of the condor's natural habitat, as well as the habitats of many other species. During the preparations for the fires, Cal Fire bulldozed a significant area of the land in Carmel Valley, destroying a lot of trees. Once the flames had been extinguished, it was necessary to assess the extent of the damage caused by the bulldozers that had scraped a line through the structure.
Founder and president Don Gruber notes that the project would not have been possible without a $15,000 grant from the Community Foundation for Monterey County.
This enabled them to engage personnel, smooth up the dozer tracks, and prepare for the onset of rainy conditions.
"The open area is vulnerable to erosion, which is basically what we were aiming to prevent.
"To repair the soil so that it would be able to withstand the rains that we are certain will arrive," "Gruber said himself.
A huge fix that was critical to the area where condors hunted and, hence, to the web of life as a whole.
