The Property provides critical habitat for the coastal California gnatcatcher (Polioptila californica) that was listed as a threatened species on March 30, 1993 (58 Federal Register 16742), and has significant value for the conservation of the species (hereinafter “Conservation Values”). C. Grantee is authorized to hold conservation easements for the preservation of land in its natural, scenic, agricultural, historical, forested, or open space condition. Grantee has authority to hold easements for these purposes pursuant to California Civil Code Section 81 5.3(b). D. The State of California, by and through its Department of Fish and Game (“CDFG”), has jurisdiction, pursuant to Section 1802 of the Fish and Game Code, over the conservation, protection, and management of fish, wildlife, native plants and the habitat necessary for biologically sustainable populations of those species.
