The Yolo Habitat Conservancy is a joint powers agency comprised of the County of Yolo and the cities of Davis, West Sacramento, Winters, and Woodland. The Yolo Habitat Conservancy has prepared a model conservation plan to provide Endangered Species Act permits and associated mitigation for infrastructure and development activities (e.g. agricultural facilities, housing, and commercial buildings) over the next 50 years in Yolo County. The conservancy is also developing a voluntary framework for the conservation of natural communities and sensitive species not covered by the plan.
