Canebrake Ecological Reserve is a 〔(Audubon Kern River Preserve ), 2009 Field Trip Descriptions "Trip D-Canebrake Ecological Reserve"〕 nature reserve in the South Fork Valley of Kern County, east of Lake Isabella, California. It is located in the Southern Sierra Nevada region. Historian Wallace M. Morgan, in ''History of Kern County, California''. wrote that the South Fork Valley was the first area settled - around 1846, and described the valley as "a fertile strip of bottomland that forms the most important of the mountain farming districts."〔(Morgan, Wallace M. ''History of Kern County, Cal'' )... Publ by Los Angeles, Cal Historic record company 1914 p. 27〕 The first acreage purchased for reserve was part of the 129-year-old Bloomfield Ranch. ==Description== The California Department of Fish and Game acquired the land in 1994 and by 1996, became the Canebrake reserve, named after Canebrake Creek, a tributary of South Fork Kern River. A nature trail crosses Canebrake Creek, is wheelchair accessible, and has views of cottonwood-willow forest with several willow species (''Salix gooddingii'', ''S . lasiandra'', and ''S . laevigata'') and Fremont cottonwood (''Populus fremontii'') that intergrade with a relict stand of Joshua trees (''Yucca brevifolia''). The reserve was enlarged by land purchases in 2002 and 2005 through the state Wildlife Conservation Board. Although not contiguous, one segment is in Cap Canyon, the other in Scodie Canyon, the lands are important corridors for wildlife connecting the reserve to Sequoia National Forest.〔(Californian Nov,28,2002 )〕 The 2005 purchase by the Wildlife Conservation Board (WCB) used Proposition 117 funds.〔(Wildlife Conservation Board ) board meeting minutes-August 25, 2005, Item #15 p.38〕 Proposition 117, known as the California Wildlife Protection Act of 1990, created the Habitat Conservation Fund with an annual budget of $30 million, for various state agencies such as the WCB.〔(California Legislative Analyst's Office ), 2008-9 Budget Bill Analysis:Resources Wildlife Conservation Board〕
