The purpose of this project is to create and enhance native riparian woodlands to support a variety of threatened and endangered wildlife species for the Santa Clara River while providing beneficial ecosystem services in an ecologically important segment of the Santa Clara River that is part of the Santa Paula-to-Sespe conservation area. The Ventura County Resource Conservation District (Grantee) will remove <5 acres of invasive giant reed (Arundo donax) from a ~20 acre, high ecological-value segment of the Santa Clara River, allowing native plants to passively restore, crowding out additional Arundo encroachment.
