News release: Seven Oaks Dam agreement secures more help for Southern California fish, endangered mammal
Conservation groups have reached an agreement with three Southern California counties and the federal government to help promote the recovery of the San Bernardino kangaroo rat and the Santa Ana sucker fish. The two species are found only in Southern California. The agreement secures 400 acres of habitat rehabilitation for the imperiled species, who rely on federally designated critical habitat in the Santa Ana River Wash near the Seven Oaks Dam in San Bernardino County. Endangered plants such as the Santa Ana woolly-star will share in the benefits.
