Project Description

Moosa Creek Mitigation Bank

This proposed mitigation bank would restore a portion of the former San Luis Rey Downs Golf Course to wetlands, riparian and listed species habitat. Project benefits include improved flood control, reduced water usage, and habitat connectivity.

Location:

At the confluence of the San Luis Rey River and Moosa Creek in the community of Bonsall, San Diego County

Size: 188 acres

Outcome:

A 71-acre portion of the property was sold to Tellurium Partners, a mitigation banking firm, in late 2017.  The balance of the property was sold to the County of San Diego as an addition to the San Luis Rey Regional Park.
