This grant, offered by the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) and US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), is for the restoration and management of the Cabin Bar Ranch pond. The project aims to improve water quality, flow, and depth, remove non-native species, and establish native vegetation, creating optimal habitat for the southern Owens Valley tui chub. Landowner CG Roxane is providing the site and implementing improvements. CDFG and USFWS will offer crucial support, including water analysis, invasive species removal assistance, design input, native planting guidance, and vandalism deterrence. Following restoration, CDFG will stock the pond with native tui chub, with ongoing authorization from both departments for long-term management to benefit this native species.
