    FCS celebrates the life of Martin Rasnick. Martin was a brilliant biologist, a compassionate leader, and an advocate for doing impactful work. As an Associate Director at FCS, he was hardworking, thoughtful, deliberate, and kind. Whether educating our teams about mitigation banking, telling a story about his beloved dog, talking with pride about our growing Natural Resources team, or reminiscing about trips to South America, time with Martin was time well-spent. We will take the opportunity today and every day to learn from the examples he set and honor his legacy with the highest regard.

    Burrowing owls, currently considered a California Species of Special Concern and a federal Bird of Conservation Concern, are inhabitants of open grassland and desert scrub communities that are occasionally present on project sites in California. Mitigation and management of burrowing owls is guided mainly by recommendations in the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (2012) Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation. However, the species may soon become listed under the California Endangered Species Act, which could bring big changes to the way burrowing owls are managed on project sites.  Our latest article by Principal Biologist Michael Tuma discusses the current approaches and impending changes of burrowing owl mitigation on project sites: #burrowingowls #conservation #endangeredspecies
