The East County Parks Habitat Conservation Plan/Natural Community Conservation Plan (EC Parks HCP/NCCP or Plan) is intended to provide an effective framework to protect natural resources in 10 East Bay Regional Park District (District) protected areas in eastern Contra Costa and northern Alameda Counties. The Plan will allow the District to carry out operation and maintenance activities and minor new construction that support its dual mission of providing recreational opportunities and protecting wildlife habitat, while providing comprehensive species and ecosystem conservation.
