It seems that the US Dept of Fish & Wildlife is in collusion with cali nuts to classify endangered weeds over other priorities. Refer to the list embedded in the PDF at source (almost exclusively in ca).
It behooves the stupid living there to ensure that none of the species on this list exist on your property...particularly in advance of a purchase.
I lived in NEVADA COUNTY—N CALIF for 12 years.
The DRUG ADDLED CRAZIES on the COUNTY SUPERVISORS BOARD decided that “WE” needed to INVENTORY EVERY BIRD/BEE/ INSECT/ BUSH/TREE in the County.
ONLY THE TREES & BRUSH ARE STATIONARY—the rest are VERY MIGRATORY.
THEN-—”THEY” would determine HOW “WE” COULD USE OUR PROPERTIES.
MANY PROPERTY OWNERS IN NEVADA COUNTY ARE MULTI-GENERATION PROPERTY OWNERS.
AN UPROAR ENSUED.
THEY ALSO STATED THE “VOLUNTEERS” WOULD BE ENTERING OUR LAND WITHOUT ANY NOTICE OR PERMISSION. IF THOSE VOLUNTEERS GOT ANY INJURY DOING THAT-—WE WOULD BE LIABLE.
BIGGER UPROAR.
FIGHTING BACK:
NOT GIVING ANYONE PERMISSION TO BE ON MY PROPERTY-—HORSES RULE THERE-—AND WHO CAN PROMISE THERE WILL NO GATES LEFT OPEN? ALL MY GATES WERE CHAINED & PADLOCKED. ALL MY HORSES WILL RACE DOWN TO SEE IF “INVADERS” HAVE ANY TREATS. MY HORSE WILL NOT ATTACK-BUT some RETIRED GERIATRIC CITY PROFESSOR COULD HAVE A HEART ATTACK......
MADE THAT DEMAND IN WRITING FOR DECLARATION ON RECORD.
THIS IS A CLEAR TAKING: We were given permission by the county with ZONING rules & BUILDING PERMITS -—which we had to PAY FOR & ABIDE BY. THEY COULD NOT CHANGE THE RULES RETROACTIVELY-—PERIOD. We HAD MADE INVESTMENTS IN HOMES/ SHELTERS/FENCING and other IMPROVEMENTS. COUNTY DIDN’T PAY FOR ALL THAT LABOR/MATERIALS
ALSO-—IF I BOUGHT MY PROPERTY TO HAVE MY HORSES—WHICH I DID-—IF YOU RESTRICT THAT USAGE-—THAT IS A CLEAR “TAKING” & THE COUNTY MUST PAY ME FOR MY “LOSS OF USAGE”. AT CURRENT MARKET VALUES.
PACIFIC LEGAL FOUNDATION SUPPORTED US.
THE “INVENTORY” PLANS FINALLY DIED.
DURING THE MEETINGS-—THE ROOM WAS STANDING ROOM ONLY. LOTS OF HORSES IN NEVADA COUNTY-—ALONG WITH A FEW LARGE ORCHARDS & A WINERY.
