Document Description
This project consists of the control/removal of invasive Eucalyptus trees located at the eastern base of Bunker Hill in Border Field State Park. The grove consists of roughly 21 mature trees of the species Red Gum (Eucalyptus camaldulensis) & Blue Gum (Eucalyptus globulus) and a swarm of saplings and younger recruits. The trees will be removed by girdling, drilling and falling of the trees. Removal of trees is consistent with State Parks policy regarding invasive species. The project is high priority because species have been invading and competing for resources with adjacent mulefat scrub which serves as habitat for endangered species (least Bell's vireo, Vireo Bellii).
DPR-approved standard project requirements have been incorporated into this project. A copy of these requirements may be obtained by submitting a request to the project Environmental Coordinator listed below.
