Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument Management Plan - Related Planning Efforts

---

The Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (CVMSHCP) is a multi-jurisdictional effort aimed at conserving adequate habitat in an unfragmented manner to protect current, proposed, or potential threatened and endangered species throughout the Coachella Valley.  The CVMSHCP covers approximately 1.2 million acres, which includes the entire Coachella Valley and the National Monument.  The National Monument RMP will refer to the CVMSHCP for all threatened and endangered plant and wildlife issues, particularly issues pertaining to the Peninsular Ranges bighorn sheep, and for management issues pertaining to trails.  The land use plan for the National Monument will address plant and wildlife issues for all species not listed as threatened or endangered and not under consideration for potential listing.

BLM has completed an amendment to the California Desert Conservation Area (CDCA) Plan to ensure that BLM's land management actions are consistent with the goals and objectives of the CVMSHCP.  This plan amendment will follow the time line of the CVMSHCP. 

USFS is currently in the Forest Plan Revision process for the Angeles, Cleveland, Los Padres and San Bernardino National Forests.  Ongoing meetings are scheduled to continue to receive public input. The Forest Plan revision process is outlined on the Forest Service website.
