AEP is offering this event as both in-person and also as a webinar from 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM.

California Endangered Species Act (CESA) was enacted in 1970, followed closely by the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) in 1973. Most biologists working in the State of California will encounter CESA and ESA at some point in their careers. Please join us for a two-hour workshop discussing the background, similarities, and differences of ESA and CESA, and understanding the processes and procedures for navigating ESA and CESA consultations. Topics covered include: (1) ESA and CESA backgrounds, processes, and procedures; (2) Preparing a biological assessment (for ESA); (3) Preparing an incidental take permit application (for CESA); (4) Understanding the similarities and differences between ESA and CESA consultations, including how these may work together; and (5) Practice scenarios for biologists preparing the consultation documents and conducting an impact analysis for biological resources.

Panelists: Linda Leeman, Ascent, Principal; Kelly Holland-Fitzgerald, GEI Consultants, Senior Wildlife Biologist & Regulatory Specialist
Moderator: Stephanie Parsons, CEO, CreativEnvironment Group
