St. Supery Vineyard: Surveys and Monitoring for Yellow-Legged Frog Avoidance

Zentner Planning and Ecology was hired to by St. Supery to help coordinate permit work, complete special status species surveys, and conduct daily construction monitoring for a restoration and bridge protection project along Maxwell Creek. The site contained sensitive cultural resources as well as habitat for the foothill yellow-legged frog, which were found in and around the project site. We worked with the client and CDFW staff to produce a foothill yellow-legged frog relocation plan, which allowed us to move frogs to a nearby onsite area if they were encountered on the project. Once the project started, our daily construction monitoring, worker sensitive species training, and coordination with CDFW staff, allowed the project to move forward until completion.
