An Excerpt from the Executive Summary:
This Coastal Scrub and Chaparral Bird Conservation Plan is a collaborative effort of California Partners in Flight. It has been developed to guide conservation policy and action on behalf of coastal scrub/chaparral habitats and wildlife. The geographic scope of this plan is the distribution of low-elevation shrublands west of the states major mountain axis. The plan has focused on data concerning bird species that are dependent on these habitat types, but conservation recommendations have broad applicability for all coastal scrub and chaparral habitats in California (with the exception of montane chaparral). If implemented, these recommendations would benefit many scrub- and chaparral-dependent species.
