Consistent with CAP Policy 6.2 and action items 6.A and 6.B, add a fifth bulleted item stating "maximize carbon sequestration." [See staff response in

Add a sentence stating "Select candidate shrublands for re-forestation with Sugar Pine and other native conifers."
This additional language is needed for multiple reasons. Tree removal in the course of development projects and easement expansions has reduced
forest cover and carbon storage. The identification of areas suitable for re-forestation is to partially offset the loss of native trees, increase carbon
sequestration, reduce soil-water evaporation, reduce radiative heating of soil surfaces, and increase shade in areas currently dominated by sagebrush
and antelope bush.
