Document Description
This project will restore and protect approximately 2 acres of riparian habitat adjacent to Soquel Creek along 1,000 linear feet of creek frontage from Highway One to the Nob Hill Shopping Center in Capitola, Santa Cruz County. The site will be in a permanent conservation easement, currently held by the City of Capitola. The corridor has been largely undisturbed by development, but is infested with aggressive non-native species including English and Cape ivy, acacia, pampas grass, and arundo. Techniques used for the restoration will include goat grazing, hand labor, and possibly minimal herbicide spray. To eliminate the non-native species, especially the more aggressive Cape ivy and Arundo, a "scorched earth" method will be employed. For a site that is as overgrown as this, experts recommend this technique to insure eradication of the invasive species and successful establishment of a healthy native suite of plants. Larger native trees are not to be removed.
The California Department of Fish and Game is executing a Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement number 1600-2005-0131-3 pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code to the project operator, Craig French, Managing Director / Redtree Properties, L. P.
