Acquired:	2008

The Wasserman Farm is located approximately three miles north of the City of Davis on the east side of County Road 99 and north of County Road 28 alignment. This area is characterized by prime farmland, reliable water sources, and a significant pressure to convert to rural residential land uses.

Willow Slough bisects the property from east to west and the easement will protect 10.5-acres of the riparian corridor from development and from conversion to irrigated agriculture. The riparian corridor provides wildlife habitat for both common and protected wildlife species, including nesting and foraging habitat for Swainson's hawk.
