Document Description
The purpose of this project is to remove invasive, non-native plants from the Carnegie State Vehicular Recreation Area to prevent the spread of these plants downstream and restore habitat for native flora and fauna. California State Parks staff and youth conservation corps will use hand tools to pull and cut invasive species including Tree Tobacco and Stinkwort. Qualified herbicide applicators will follow up with herbicide application target root balls and prevent erosion. All removed vegetation will be disposed of at an offsite facility.
