Natural community conservation plans.

The Natural Community Conservation Planning Act authorizes the Department of Fish and Game to enter into agreements with any person or public entity for the purpose of preparing a natural community conservation plan, to provide comprehensive management and conservation of multiple wildlife species. The act requires each natural community conservation plan to include an implementation agreement governing specified matters. The act requires that the implementation of a plan, to the extent practicable, use the services of either the California Conservation Corps or local community conservation corps. This bill would authorize the use of both state and local community conservation corps.
