Storke Ranch Environmental Management Plan
It all started when…
The developer for Storke Ranch was required to translate the Santa Barbara County Conditions of Approval for this project into terms that would be accessible and understandable to the public. This Environmental Management Plan and interpretive signage was the result. Residents can refer to the Plan to find out why there are fruit orchards on site, and what a vernal pool is, for instance. Cathleen Corlett wrote the Plan and designed the signage while working at Van Atta Associates.
