Title
Kent Island Restoration Project
Description
Marin County Open Space District & the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers propose to reestablish native dune communities and natural ecological processes on Kent Island, Bolinas Lagoon, by removing invasive vegetation and replanting native species. The primary methods for vegetation management include treating salt intolerant plants using saltwater irrigation and removing weeds using hand tools, girdling, and feeling or larger trees. The project also includes the removal of all tree saplings within the primary grove of Monterey pines and cypress, while maintaining mature trees in the grove to protect nesting habitat for herons and egrets. Although the project relies mostly on natural re-colonization and succession, it includes transplanting of some native species.
