South Stone Lake
Giant Garter Snake Mitigation Preserve
Acreage: 129ac
The South Stone Lake Giant Garter Snake Mitigation Preserve, owned by Wildlands, Inc., is a 129-acre parcel located immediately west of Interstate 5 and south of Hood Franklin Road in Elk Grove, Sacramento County, California. The preserve area is designed to provide habitat values that can be applied as giant garter snake mitigation for individual projects. The goal of the preserve is to ensure that the created wetland and upland habitats are maintained in good condition such that they will continue to support the flora and fauna that the preserve was established to protect in perpetuity. Compatible uses of the preserve are bird watching, plant studies, nature studies, photography, and hunting. The level of any compatible-use activity is based on a minimum level that first and foremost maintains the quality of the giant garter snake habitat and, second, maintains a healthy population of the game species. WHF will serve as the conservator of the preserve area to ensure compliance with the terms of the conservation easement.
