Updated Merced River Values Draft Baseline Conditions Report Posted Online The report describes the condition of the Merced's River Values--(1) free-flowing condition, (2) water quality and (3) outstandingly remarkable values--both at the time of the river's designation in 1984 and at present. The condition of river values is crucial information in the development of the plan, and planners are using information from the Report to inform development of alternatives for the draft environmental impact statement. We encourage you to become familiar with the major aspects of the Report. Released as a draft in April 2011, the Report may continue to be revised and amended as new information becomes available, particularly information from ongoing scientific studies. Please Respect Wildlife and Their Young Deer fawns are born relatively scentless, and are brown with white spots. These characteristics are adaptations that allow the fawn to conceal itself from predators. The mother deer do not always remain close to their fawns in order to prevent drawing attention to them, but they will return throughout the day to check on them, and to nurse. Even when approached by humans, these fawns will likely remain still and silent. During this vulnerable time in the lives of wildlife, humans can pose a serious danger. Please help these baby animals survive by keeping pets on-leash, and leaving the area immediately when you find young animals so the parents can continue to care for their young safely. If you have concerns about an animal in the park, contact a ranger and describe the situation, but please do not touch the animal, pick it up, or move it! |
