Rumsey Prescribed GrazingThe Yolo County Resource Conservation District is implementing the Rumsey Prescribed Grazing project in the Capay Valley along Highway 16 to reduce fire danger and create managed vegetation buffers for the community of Rumsey. The project utilizes high-density, short-duration grazing with sheep and goats rotated through small paddocks on specific parcels of historical agricultural land. This effort is guided by a certified Rangeland Management Plan and is designed to slow approaching fires to protect evacuation routes and improve firefighting conditions. To ensure environmental compliance, the project includes strict biological protections. These include a 20-foot no-disturbance buffer around blue elderberry shrubs, the exclusion of livestock from wetlands and riparian areas, and the timing of grazing to avoid disturbing great blue heron rookeries. If operations occur during the nesting bird season from February 1st to September 15th, a qualified biologist must conduct surveys within one week of the start of work to ensure compliance with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. The project is managed by the Yolo County Resource Conservation District and is classified as a minor land alteration under a Notice of Exemption.
