Document Description
Glen Cove Waterfront Park is a culturally sensitive area, for which a conservation and cultural easement was placed and is managed by the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation (the Tribe). The project consists of native plantings and non-native vegetation removal along a drainage corridor, which currently consists primarily of native willow trees over-run by non-native vines, trees, and understory. Solano RCD proposes (with the approval of the Tribe) to clear the understory of non-native vegetation, followed by native grass, sedge, shrub and tree plantings. Other project components outside the riparian area include a demonstration, native shrub pods, pollinator plant pods, upland native shrub slopes, and grassland areas, as well as the placement of interpretive signage.
