Document Description
Remove approximately three acres of Himalayan blackberry, and plant Valley oak of local provenance distributed in a natural pattern over 219 acres at Anderson Marsh State Historic Park to restore habitat over a two year period. The first year, work will mechanically remove Himalayan blackberry; spot spray re-sprouts with triclopyr herbicide by a qualified applicator, and plant 100 Valley oak seedlings no deeper than 14 inches with a ventilated tree tube staked 18' deep and four feet above ground level, a 5' diameter cylinder of 1/4' hardware cloth buried 9' deep and extending 9' above the surface around the tree tube, and a four foot by 40-inch rectangle of biodegradable tarpaper mulch stapled to the ground. The second year, work will plant 600 local Valley oak acorns just below the soil surface in 200 locations (3 acorns to each tree tube).
Project consists of repair, maintenance and minor public alterations in the condition of land and vegetation that do not involve removal of mature, scenic trees and is included as "resources management projects" in the Department of Parks and Recreation's list of exempt activities in accordance with CCR section 15300.4.
