Case Story

Apple Valley Preserves Open Space While Encouraging Development

The Town of Apple Valley has worked with state and federal wildlife agencies since 2010 to create a multiple species habitat conservation plan. The plan’s goal is to proactively preserve open space, protect threatened and endangered species and maintain the city’s high-desert character.

Preserving open space and other natural systems act as “carbon sinks” which remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
