Riverside County: Prescribed Burn Scheduled at Lake Mathews.
Monday, June 3rd, through Friday, June 14th, 2024... CAL FIRE / Riverside County Fire Department, in cooperation with Riverside
County Habitat Conservation Agency, and Metropolitan Water District, will be conducting a a vegetation management prescribed burn at Lake Mathews. The prescribed burn at Lake Mathews accomplishes the goal of rehabilitating the burrowing owl and Stephens’ Kangaroo Rat (SKR) habitat through eradication of invasive, non-native grasses and weed species. This allows mammal species to find food and make homes.
I put an owl nest box up at my sister's house last winter and a pair of Western Screech-Owls moved right in this spring. She calls the female Enid and the male DoorDash since he brings her food all the time. #owls
The sad case of the Norfolk Island morepork shows we need a way to control or eradicate invasive rodents without killing native species. When pest rats and mice decimate populations of native species, pest control is a no-brainer. But what if baiting rats protects threatened songbirds, while poisoning critically endangered owls?...
Sending out thanks to my 4/21 #FineArtAmerica client from Poland, OH for their purchase of a 24" x 16" framed and matted print of "Barred Owl." I hope you enjoy it very much!!
