A Resilient Future: How Halo Ranch Supports Watershed Goals

The Halo Ranch Mitigation Bank is uniquely positioned within the watershed, making its credits eligible to help satisfy Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) permits. Designed to align with broader watershed goals, a key RWQCB requirement for mitigation solutions, the bank plays a crucial role in regional conservation efforts.

In the figure below (credit: Sonoma Land Trust’s Petaluma River Baylands Strategy), the blue star marks the location of the Halo Ranch Mitigation Bank, situated in an area identified as a key opportunity for bayland connection. More details on the Petaluma River Baylands Strategy can be found here.
