The project area is within the Greyrock Grazing Allotment on the Canyon Lakes Ranger District, Roosevelt National Forest.  It stretches along the North Fork Poudre River generally above Seaman Reservoir to near Eagles Nest Open Space and includes about 2.5 river miles and riparian habitat.

The Campbell Valley is located within the Laramie Foothills region of Northern Colorado which the Colorado Natural Heritage Program identified as “one of Colorado’s highest-priority landscape-level conservation sites", "containing one of the most extensive remaining high-quality foothills ecosystems along the Front Range of Colorado.”

This project was an initial evaluation of the Preble’s meadow jumping mouse (PMJM) populations that exist within the North Poudre Site Conservation watershed, which includes North Fork of the Poudre River, Rabbit Creek, Lone Pine Creek, and various tributaries.

The proposed 105-acre Rabbit Creek Mitigation Bank stream mitigation and Preble’s Meadow Jumping Mouse conservation bank project is located on a section of state trust land adjacent to the 28,000-acre Cherokee Park State Wildlife Area.

With conservation banking, landowners can be fairly compensated for preserving and restoring protected species habitat on their property. The Table Top Conservation Bank located in Livermore is the first example of its kind in Colorado, and others may soon be available.
