Calleguas Creek Watershed Arundo/Tamarisk Removal Program

Calleguas Creek Watershed Arundo/Tamarisk Removal Program

Program to guide stakeholders in implementing non-native invasive plant removal projects, with an emphasis on arundo and tamarisk, within the Calleguas Creek watershed. The CCARP will develop a Long-Term Implementation Plan (LTIP) that includes a set of methods for the removal and disposal of arundo and tamarisk, and the revegetation of removal areas. There are numerous negative effects associated with the establishment of arundo and tamarisk in riparian areas, including: decreased water quality and supply; increased flooding; fire and erosion hazards; displacement of native vegetation and habitat; and a reduction in diversity and abundance of riparian-dependent wildlife.
