Habitat Conservation Plan information


Mature redwood trees in Gilham's Heath Plantation. Incidental take permits and HCPs are required for deforestation activities that have the potential to result in an incidental take of federally listed wildlife.

A Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) is a required part of an application for an Incidental Take Permit, a permit issued under the United States Endangered Species Act (ESA) to private entities undertaking projects that might result in the destruction of an endangered or threatened species. It is a planning document that ensures that the anticipated take of a listed species will be minimized or mitigated by conserving the habitat upon which the species depend, thereby contributing to the recovery of the species as a whole.[1]
