Elderberry Transplanting

Certain projects that have received Yolo County Habitat Conservation Plan/Natural Community Conservation Plan (Yolo HCP/NCCP) permit coverage and have mature elderberry (Sambucus mexicana) plants within their project footprint are required to transplant elderberry plants to a Yolo HCP/NCCP reserve system site. Only qualified elderberry transplant entities that have been approved by the Yolo Habitat Conservancy, in accordance with the Yolo HCP/NCCP Elderberry Transplant Entity Approval Policy, are allowed to transplant mature elderberry plants onto Yolo HCP/NCCP reserve system sites. Entities that wish to be considered for approval as a qualified elderberry transplant entity must fill out and submit an application to the Yolo Habitat Conservancy at info@yolohabitatconservancy.org. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis.
