*Monterey pine (''Pinus radiata'') is native to closed-cone coniferous forest within three distinct coastal areas in [California's Central Coast Region]. It is an evergreen conifer growing to heights between 15 and 30 meters in the wild, with needles mostly 8-15 centimeters long and generally in bundles of three<ref>Matthews, M.A. 2006.

*The three distinct U.S. populations of Monterey pines occur on the Central California Coast.<br />
*The Monterey Peninsula occurrence of Monterey pine forest is the largest native occurrence worldwide. <ref>Monterey County Local Coastal Program Major Amendment Number 1-05 (Measure A) https://documents.coastal.ca.gov/reports/2006/3/Th8b-3-2006.pdf</ref><br />
*Monterey pine forest occurs within low elevations that are subject to marine climate influences and common are associated with sediments of marine origin. Soils in Monterey pine forest are often acidic with a distinct clay layer.<ref name="ESCTP">Elkhorn Slough Coastal Training Program. 2006.

<br />
==Locations of interest==<br />
<br />
*Monterey pines occupy a limited native range, extending beyond that through planting and volunteering. They are known from [[Monterey County]] (Monterey Peninsula), [[Santa Cruz County|Santa Cruz]]/San Mateo Counties (Ano Nuevo), and [[San Luis Obispo County]] (Cambria).<br />
<br />
*Monterey pines are also known from two island populations off the coast of Baja California, Mexico: Isla Cedros and Isla Guadalupe<ref name="ESCTP"/><br />
<br />
*Beyond their native range, Monterey pines, known outside the United States as Radiata pine, are planted in vast tracks as a timber crop in New Zealand, Australia, Chile, South Africa, and Spain <ref name="Monterey Pine Forest"/>.<br />
<br />
*Native Range: According to pollen recovered from sediment cores, Monterey pines have been present in isolated patches along the California coast over the past 2 million years. Populations appear to have been most abundant during favorable climate conditions at the end of ice ages and interglacials and during warmer periods of ice ages. A positive correlation between Monterey pine pollen and charcoal also speaks to the importance of fire in its ability to colonize <ref>Millar, C.I. 1998.

<br />
1. Monterey pine forest is a unique forest community that supports a variety of [[Special Status Species|sensitive plant species]], besides Monterey pine (a [[California Native Plant Society]] 1B.1 species) itself. The [[California Natural Diversity Database]] lists:<br />
<br />
*Hickman's onion (''Allium hickmanii'') (CNPS 1B.1)<br />
*Hooker's manzanita (''Arctostaphylos hookeri'' ssp. ''hookeri'') (CNPS 1B.2)<br />
*Pajaro manzanita (''Arctostaphylos pajaroensis'') (CNPS 1B.1)<br />
*Sandmat manzanita (''Arctostaphylos pumila'') (CNPS 1B.2)<br />
*Monterey cypress (''Hesperocyparis macrocarpa'') (CNPS 1B.2)<br />
*Yadon's rein orchid (''Piperia yadonii'') (Federal endangered, CNPS 1B.1)<br />
*Hickman's cinquefoil (''Potentilla hickmanii'') (Federal endangered, State endangered, CNPS 1B.1)<br />
*Pine rose (''Rosa pinetorum'') (CNPS 1B.2)<br />
<br />

<br />
3. Monterey pine forest provides habitat for a variety of wildlife, including Monterey dusky-footed woodrat, mountain lion, bobcat, black-tailed deer, and birds including California scrubjay <ref name="Monterey Pine Forest"/>, brown creeper <ref>https://sora.unm.edu/sites/default/files/Unitt%20%26%20Rea.pdf</ref>, and chestnut-backed chickadees <ref>https://plants.usda.gov/plantguide/pdf/cs_pira2.pdf</ref><br />
<br />
==Threats==<br />
*Monterey pine forest is threatened by development, fragmentation, climate change, bark beetles, and disease such as pitch canker (''Fusarium circinatum''). Pitch canker appears to especially affect fragmented Monterey pine forest, but is not as serious of a threat as initially thought. <ref name="ESCTP"/><br />
<br />
==Current protection plans==<br />
<br />
While Monterey pines are not named in the Monterey County Municipal Code as a protected tree species (Section 21.64.260) <ref> Monterey County Code Section 21.64.260 https://library.municode.com/ca/monterey_county/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=TIT21ZO_CH21.64SPRE_21.64.260PROAOTPRTR</ref>, protection of this native tree is designated in several Central California Coast local ordinances:<br />
<br />
*[[City of Carmel-by-the-Sea]]: City code emphasizes protection of Monterey pine forest and Monterey pine trees. Removal of a Monterey pine requires a permit <ref>City of Carmel Tree Ordinance https://www.codepublishing.com/CA/CarmelbytheSea/html/Carmel17/Carmel1748.html</ref>.<br />
*[[City of Pacific Grove]]: City code states that Monterey pines >6-inches in diameter at 54-inches above ground are protected and require a permit for removal<ref>City of Pacific Grove Tree Ordinance https://www.codepublishing.com/CA/PacificGrove/html/PacificGrove12/PacificGrove1220.html</ref>.<br />
*[[City of Monterey]]: City code does not list Monterey pines specifically, but the City Forester can require replacement of removed trees at 1:1 or 3:1 mitigation ratios. Conifers >30-feet-high or 12-inches diameter at 54-inches above grade are considered "landmark" trees <ref>Monterey Tree Ordinance https://www.codepublishing.com/CA/Monterey/?Monterey37.html</ref>.<br />
*Unincorporated community of [[Pebble Beach]]: Del Monte Forest Land Use Planning establishes protection of Monterey pine through required approval for non-emergency removal of trees greater than or equal to 12" diameter at breast height. Preference is given for long-term protection of the tree over other potentially conflicting objectives <ref>[http://www.co.monterey.ca.us/planning/major/Pebble%20Beach%20Company/Pebble_Beach_DEIR_Nov_2011/Pebble_Beach_DEIR_Admin_Records_Nov_2011/Zander/Zander_2002_mpf_report.pdf Biological Resources of the Del Monte Forest.

==Locations of interest==<br />
<br />
*Monterey pines occupy a limited native range, extending beyond that through planting and volunteering. They are known from [[Monterey County]] (Monterey Peninsula), [[Santa Cruz County|Santa Cruz]]/San Mateo Counties (Ano Nuevo), and [[San Luis Obispo County]] (Cambria).<br />
<br />
*Monterey pines are also known from two island populations off the coast of Baja California, Mexico: Isla Cedros and Isla Guadalupe<ref name="ESCTP"/><br />
<br />
*Beyond their native range, Monterey pines, known outside the United States as Radiata pine, are planted in vast tracks as a timber crop in New Zealand, Australia, Chile, South Africa, and Spain <ref name="Monterey Pine Forest"/>.<br />
<br />
*Native Range: According to pollen recovered from sediment cores, Monterey pines have been present in isolated patches along the California coast over the past 2 million years. Populations appear to have been most abundant during favorable climate conditions at the end of ice ages and interglacials and during warmer periods of ice ages. A positive correlation between Monterey pine pollen and charcoal also speaks to the importance of fire in its ability to colonize <ref>Millar, C.I. 1998. Reconsidering the conservation of Monterey pine. Fremontia Vol. 26, No. 3. pp 12-16 </ref>.<br />

<br />
1. Monterey pine forest is a unique forest community that supports a variety of [[Special Status Species|sensitive plant species]], besides Monterey pine (a [[California Native Plant Society]] 1B.1 species) itself. The [[California Natural Diversity Database]] lists:<br />
<br />
*Hickman's onion (''Allium hickmanii'') (CNPS 1B.1)<br />
*Hooker's manzanita (''Arctostaphylos hookeri'' ssp. ''hookeri'') (CNPS 1B.2)<br />
*Pajaro manzanita (''Arctostaphylos pajaroensis'') (CNPS 1B.1)<br />
*Sandmat manzanita (''Arctostaphylos pumila'') (CNPS 1B.2)<br />
*Monterey cypress (''Hesperocyparis macrocarpa'') (CNPS 1B.2)<br />
*Yadon's rein orchid (''Piperia yadonii'') (Federal endangered, CNPS 1B.1)<br />
*Hickman's cinquefoil (''Potentilla hickmanii'') (Federal endangered, State endangered, CNPS 1B.1)<br />
*Pine rose (''Rosa pinetorum'') (CNPS 1B.2)<br />
<br />
2. Monarch butterflies use Monterey pines as overwintering locations, as seen in Pacific Grove, Monterey, California <ref>City of Pacific Grove, Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary [https://www.cityofpacificgrove.org/visiting/monarch-butterfly-sanctuary]</ref>.<br />
<br />
3. Monterey pine forest provides habitat for a variety of wildlife, including Monterey dusky-footed woodrat, mountain lion, bobcat, black-tailed deer, and birds including California scrubjay <ref name="Monterey Pine Forest"/>, brown creeper <ref>https://sora.unm.edu/sites/default/files/Unitt%20%26%20Rea.pdf</ref>, and chestnut-backed chickadees <ref>https://plants.usda.gov/plantguide/pdf/cs_pira2.pdf</ref><br />
<br />
==Threats==<br />
*Monterey pine forest is threatened by development, fragmentation, climate change, bark beetles, and disease such as pitch canker (''Fusarium circinatum''). Pitch canker appears to especially affect fragmented Monterey pine forest, but is not as serious of a threat as initially thought. <ref name="ESCTP"/><br />
<br />
==Current protection plans==<br />
<br />
Monterey pines are given protection in several Central California Coast local ordinances:<br />
<br />
*Monterey County: Monterey pines are not named in the Monterey County Municipal Code as a protected tree species (Section 21.64.260) <ref> Monterey County Code Section 21.64.260 https://library.municode.com/ca/monterey_county/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=TIT21ZO_CH21.64SPRE_21.64.260PROAOTPRTR</ref>. <br />
*[[City of Carmel-by-the-Sea]]: City code emphasizes protection of Monterey pine forest and Monterey pine trees. Removal of a Monterey pine requires a permit <ref>City of Carmel Tree Ordinance https://www.codepublishing.com/CA/CarmelbytheSea/html/Carmel17/Carmel1748.html</ref>.<br />
*[[City of Pacific Grove]]: City code states that Monterey pines >6-inches in diameter at 54-inches above ground are protected and require a permit for removal<ref>City of Pacific Grove Tree Ordinance https://www.codepublishing.com/CA/PacificGrove/html/PacificGrove12/PacificGrove1220.html</ref>.<br />
*[[City of Monterey]]: City code does not list Monterey pines specifically, but the City Forester can require replacement of removed trees at 1:1 or 3:1 mitigation ratios. Conifers >30-feet-high or 12-inches diameter at 54-inches above grade are considered "landmark" trees <ref>Monterey Tree Ordinance https://www.codepublishing.com/CA/Monterey/?Monterey37.html</ref>.<br />
*Unincorporated community of [[Pebble Beach]]: Del Monte Forest Land Use Planning establishes protection of Monterey pine through required approval for non-emergency removal of trees greater than or equal to 12" diameter at breast height. Preference is given for long-term protection of the tree over other potentially conflicting objectives <ref>[http://www.co.monterey.ca.us/planning/major/Pebble%20Beach%20Company/Pebble_Beach_DEIR_Nov_2011/Pebble_Beach_DEIR_Admin_Records_Nov_2011/Zander/Zander_2002_mpf_report.pdf Biological Resources of the Del Monte Forest. Monterey Pine and Monterey Pine Forest Habitat. Del Monte Forest Preservation and Development Plan. Zander Associates. 2002.]</ref>.<br />
**275 acres of Monterey pine forest are preserved in the Huckleberry Hill Natural Habitat Area in Del Monte Forest, Pebble Beach, California <ref name = "MoCoLoCo"/>.<br />
**84 acres of Monterey pine forest are protected in the S.F.B. Morse Preserve in Del Monte Forest, Pebble Beach, California <ref>http://www.delmonteforestconservancy.org/documents/DMFC%20SFBMorseBotanicalReserve.pdf</ref><br />
*City of Cambria: The Cambria Forest Committee requires four replacement Monterey pines be planted for every one tree removed <ref>Cambria Forest Committee http://cambriaforestcommittee.org/frequently-asked-questions/tree-replacement-requirements/ </ref>.<br />
<br />
*[[California Department of Parks and Recreation|Point Lobos State Natural Reserve and Ano Nuevo State Park]] protect Monterey pine forest.<br />
*Jack's Peak County Park in Monterey County protects Monterey pine forest.<br />
<br />
==Laws, policies, and regulations==<br />
<br />
Monterey pine forest is also recognized by State Agencies and Organizations<br />
<br />
*[[California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW)]]: Monterey pine forest is listed as a critically imperiled (S1) community by the [[California Natural Diversity Database]].<ref>https://map.dfg.ca.gov/rarefind/view/RF_FieldDescriptions.htm</ref><br />
*[[California Native Plant Society]]: Monterey pines are categorized as a 1B.1 plant (rare, threatened, or endangered in California and elsewhere). The Monterey pine 1B designation by CNPS requires that the species be evaluated as part of the [[California Environmental Quality Act]] process for project approvals.<ref>http://www.rareplants.cnps.org/glossary.html</ref><br />
*[[California Coastal Commission]]: Monterey pine forest is identified as sensitive habitat in seven Land Use Plans. Large, contiguous stands of Monterey pine that support special status species meet the definition of Environmentally Sensitive Habitat (ESHA) under the Coastal Act.<ref name = "MoCoLoCo"/><br />

<div>An [[Summaries of Environmental Topics in California's Central Coast Region| environmental summary]] created by the [[ENVS 560/L Watershed Systems]] class at [[CSUMB]].<br />
<br />
This page is a list of non-native, invasive plants that fall under one of two categories: 1) plant species being actively managed, or proposed for future control by organizations involved in the conservation and restoration of open space in [[California's Central Coast Region]], or 2) plant species recommended for management and observation at a county-wide and regional scales. This list was collated from a number of sources, all of which are listed in the References section of this page. Information regarding the presence of a species by county was gathered from the [https://www.calflora.org/ Calflora Observation Hotline].<br />
<br />
Statewide lists of all invasive plant species found in California can be found at the [http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/IPC/encycloweedia/weedinfo/winfo_table-sciname.html California Department of Food & Agriculture] and the [https://www.cal-ipc.org/plants/profiles/California California Invasive Plant Council].<br />

*Monterey pine (''Pinus radiata'') is native to closed-cone coniferous forest within three distinct coastal areas in Central California. The Monterey pine is an evergreen conifer growing to heights between 15 and 30 meters, with needles mostly 8-15 centimeters long and generally in bundles of three<ref>Matthews, M.A. 2006.

<br />
*Monterey pine forest occurs within low elevations that are subject to marine climate influences and common are associated with sediments of marine origin.

<br />
==Locations of interest==<br />
<br />
*Monterey pines occupy a limited native range, extending beyond that through planting and volunteering. They are known from Monterey County (Monterey Peninsula), Santa Cruz/San Mateo County (Ano Nuevo) and San Luis Obispo County (Cambria).<br />
<br />
*Monterey pines are also known from two island populations off the coast of Baja California, Mexico: Isla Cedros and Isla Guadalupe<ref name="ESCTP"/><br />
<br />
*Beyond their native range, Monterey pines, known outside the United States as Radiata pine, are planted in vast tracks as a timber crop in New Zealand, Australia, Chile, South Africa, and Spain <ref name="Monterey Pine Forest"/>.<br />
<br />
*Native Range: According to pollen recovered from sediment cores, Monterey pines have been present in isolated patches along the California coast over the past 2 million years. Populations appear to have been most abundant during favorable climate conditions at the end of ice ages and interglacials and during warmer periods of ice ages. A positive correlation between Monterey pine pollen and charcoal also speaks to the importance of fire in its ability to colonize <ref>Millar, C.I. 1998.

*City of Pacific Grove: City code states that Monterey pines >6-inches in diameter at 54-inches above ground are protected and require a permit for removal<ref>City of Pacific Grove Tree Ordinance https://www.codepublishing.com/CA/PacificGrove/html/PacificGrove12/PacificGrove1220.html</ref>.<br />
*City of Monterey: City code does not list Monterey pines specifically, but the City Forester can require replacement of removed trees at 1:1 or 3:1 mitigation ratios. Conifers >30-feet-high or 12-inches diameter at 54-inches above grade are considered "landmark" trees <ref>Monterey Tree Ordinance https://www.codepublishing.com/CA/Monterey/?Monterey37.html</ref>.<br />
*Unincorporated community of Pebble Beach: Del Monte Forest Land Use Planning establishes protection of Monterey pine through required approval for non-emergency removal of trees greater than or equal to 12" diameter at breast height. Preference is given for long-term protection of the tree over other potentially conflicting objectives <ref>[http://www.co.monterey.ca.us/planning/major/Pebble%20Beach%20Company/Pebble_Beach_DEIR_Nov_2011/Pebble_Beach_DEIR_Admin_Records_Nov_2011/Zander/Zander_2002_mpf_report.pdf Biological Resources of the Del Monte Forest.

*Beyond their native range, Monterey pines, known outside the United States as Radiata pine, are planted in vast tracks as a timber crop in New Zealand, Australia, Chile, South Africa, and Spain <ref name="Monterey Pine Forest"/>.<br />
<br />
*Native Range: According to pollen recovered from sediment cores, Monterey pines have been present in isolated patches along the California coast over the past 2 million years. Populations appear to have been most abundant during favorable climate conditions at the end of ice ages and interglacials and during warmer periods of ice ages. A positive correlation between Monterey pine pollen and charcoal also speaks to the importance of fire in its ability to colonize <ref>Millar, C.I. 1998.

1. Monterey pine forest is a unique forest community that supports a variety of [[Special Status Species|sensitive plant species]], besides Monterey pine (a [[California Native Plant Society]] 1B.1 species) itself. The [[California Natural Diversity Database]] lists:<br />
<br />
*Hickman's onion (''Allium hickmanii'') (CNPS 1B.1)<br />
*Hooker's manzanita (''Arctostaphylos hookeri'' ssp. ''hookeri'') (CNPS 1B.2)<br />
*Pajaro manzanita (''Arctostaphylos pajaroensis'') (CNPS 1B.1)<br />
*Sandmat manzanita (''Arctostaphylos pumila'') (CNPS 1B.2)<br />
*Monterey cypress (''Hesperocyparis macrocarpa'') (CNPS 1B.2)<br />
*Yadon's rein orchid (''Piperia yadonii'') (Federal endangered, CNPS 1B.1)<br />
*Hickman's cinquefoil (''Potentilla hickmanii'') (Federal endangered, State endangered, CNPS 1B.1)<br />
*Pine rose (''Rosa pinetorum'') (CNPS 1B.2)<br />
<br />
2. Monarch butterflies use Monterey pines as overwintering locations, as seen in Pacific Grove, Monterey, California <ref>City of Pacific Grove, Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary [https://www.cityofpacificgrove.org/visiting/monarch-butterfly-sanctuary]</ref>.<br />
<br />
3. Monterey pine forest provides habitat for a variety of wildlife, including Monterey dusky-footed woodrat, mountain lion, bobcat, black-tailed deer, and birds including California scrubjay <ref name="Monterey Pine Forest"/>, brown creeper <ref>https://sora.unm.edu/sites/default/files/Unitt%20%26%20Rea.pdf</ref>, and chestnut-backed chickadees <ref>https://plants.usda.gov/plantguide/pdf/cs_pira2.pdf</ref><br />
<br />
==Current protection plans==<br />
<br />
Monterey pines are given protection in several Central California Coast local ordinances:<br />
<br />
*Monterey County: Monterey pines are not named in the Monterey County Municipal Code as a protected tree species (Section 21.64.260) <ref> Monterey County Code Section 21.64.260 https://library.municode.com/ca/monterey_county/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=TIT21ZO_CH21.64SPRE_21.64.260PROAOTPRTR</ref>. <br />
*City of Carmel by the Sea: City code emphasizes protection of Monterey pine forest and Monterey pine trees. Removal of a Monterey pine requires a permit <ref>City of Carmel Tree Ordinance https://www.codepublishing.com/CA/CarmelbytheSea/html/Carmel17/Carmel1748.html</ref>.<br />
*City of Pacific Grove: City code states that Monterey pines >6-inches in diameter at 54-inches above ground are protected and require a permit for removal<ref>City of Pacific Grove Tree Ordinance https://www.codepublishing.com/CA/PacificGrove/html/PacificGrove12/PacificGrove1220.html</ref>.<br />
*City of Monterey: City code does not list Monterey pines specifically, but the City Forester can require replacement of removed trees at 1:1 or 3:1 mitigation ratios. Conifers >30-feet-high or 12-inches diameter at 54-inches above grade are considered "landmark" trees <ref>Monterey Tree Ordinance https://www.codepublishing.com/CA/Monterey/?Monterey37.html</ref>.<br />
*Unincorporated community of Pebble Beach: Del Monte Forest Land Use Planning establishes protection of Monterey pine through required approval for non-emergency removal of trees greater than or equal to 12" diameter at breast height. Preference is given for long-term protection of the tree over other potentially conflicting objectives <ref>[http://www.co.monterey.ca.us/planning/major/Pebble%20Beach%20Company/Pebble_Beach_DEIR_Nov_2011/Pebble_Beach_DEIR_Admin_Records_Nov_2011/Zander/Zander_2002_mpf_report.pdf Biological Resources of the Del Monte Forest. Monterey Pine and Monterey Pine Forest Habitat. Del Monte Forest Preservation and Development Plan. Zander Associates. 2002.]</ref>.<br />
*City of Cambria: The Cambria Forest Committee requires four replacement Monterey pines be planted for every one tree removed <ref>Cambria Forest Committee http://cambriaforestcommittee.org/frequently-asked-questions/tree-replacement-requirements/ </ref>.<br />
<br />
*275 acres of Monterey pine forest are preserved in the Huckleberry Hill Natural Habitat Area in Del Monte Forest, Pebble Beach, California <ref name = "MoCoLoCo"/>.<br />
*Point Lobos State Natural Reserve and Ano Nuevo State Park protect Monterey pine forest.<br />
*Jack's Peak County Park in Monterey County protects Monterey pine forest.<br />
<br />
==Laws, policies, and regulations==<br />
<br />
Monterey pine forest is also recognized by State Agencies and Organizations<br />
<br />
*[[California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW)]]: Monterey pine forest is listed as a critically imperiled (S1) community by the [[California Natural Diversity Database]].<ref>https://map.dfg.ca.gov/rarefind/view/RF_FieldDescriptions.htm</ref><br />
*[[California Native Plant Society]]: Monterey pines are categorized as a 1B.1 plant (rare, threatened, or endangered in California and elsewhere). The Monterey pine 1B designation by CNPS requires that the species be evaluated as part of the [[California Environmental Quality Act]] process for project approvals.<ref>http://www.rareplants.cnps.org/glossary.html</ref><br />
*[[California Coastal Commission]]: Monterey pine forest is identified as sensitive habitat in seven Land Use Plans. Large, contiguous stands of Monterey pine that support special status species meet the definition of Environmentally Sensitive Habitat (ESHA) under the Coastal Act.<ref name = "MoCoLoCo"/><br />
<br />
==Central Coast Context==<br />
<br />
*The three distinct U.S. populations of Monterey pines occur on the Central California Coast.<br />
*The Monterey Peninsula occurrence of Monterey pine forest is the largest native occurrence worldwide. <ref>Monterey County Local Coastal Program Major Amendment Number 1-05 (Measure A) https://documents.coastal.ca.gov/reports/2006/3/Th8b-3-2006.pdf</ref><br />
<br />
'''Threats:'''<br />
*Monterey pine forest is threatened by development, fragmentation, climate change, bark beetles, and disease such as pitch canker (''Fusarium circinatum''). Pitch canker appears to especially affect fragmented Monterey pine forest, but is not as serious of a threat as initially thought. <ref name="ESCTP"/><br />
<br />
==Stakeholders==<br />
<br />
Stakeholders include entities who have an interest in protecting this unique resource. Examples include:<br />
<br />
'''Government agencies''' <br />
*Local city governments<br />

<div>An [[Summaries of Environmental Topics in California's Central Coast Region| environmental summary]] created by the [[ENVS 560/L Watershed Systems]] class at [[CSUMB]].<br />
<br />
This page is a list of non-native, invasive plants that fall under one of two categories: 1) plant species being actively managed, or proposed for future control by organizations involved in the conservation and restoration of open space in [[California's Central Coast Region]], or 2) plant species recommended for management and observation at a county-wide and regional scales. This list was collated from a number of sources, all of which are listed in the References section of this page. Information regarding the presence of a species by county was gathered from the [https://www.calflora.org/ Calflora Observation Hotline].<br />
<br />
Statewide lists of invasive plant species can be found at the [http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/IPC/encycloweedia/weedinfo/winfo_table-sciname.html California Department of Food & Agriculture] and the [https://www.cal-ipc.org/plants/profiles/California California Invasive Plant Council].<br />

<div>An [[Summaries of Environmental Topics in California's Central Coast Region| environmental summary]] created by the [[ENVS 560/L Watershed Systems]] class at [[CSUMB]].<br />
<br />
This page is a list of non-native, invasive plants that fall under one of two categories: 1) plant species being actively managed, or proposed for future control by organizations involved in the conservation and restoration of open space in [[California's Central Coast Region]], or 2) plant species recommended for management and observation at a county-wide and regional scales. This list was collated from a number of sources, all of which are listed in the References section of this page. Information regarding the presence of a species by county was gathered from the [https://www.calflora.org/ Calflora Observation Hotline].<br />
<br />
Statewide lists of invasive plant species can be found at the [http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/IPC/encycloweedia/weedinfo/winfo_table-sciname.html California Department of Food & Agriculture] and the [https://www.cal-ipc.org/plants/profiles/California California Invasive Plant Council].<br />

<div>An [[Summaries of Environmental Topics in California's Central Coast Region| environmental summary]] created by the [[ENVS 560/L Watershed Systems]] class at [[CSUMB]].<br />
<br />
This page is a list of non-native, invasive plants that fall under one of two categories: 1) plant species being actively managed, or proposed for future control by organizations involved in the conservation and restoration of open space in [[California's Central Coast Region]], or 2) plant species recommended for management and observation at a county-wide and regional scales. This list was collated from a number of sources, all of which are listed in the References section of this page. Information regarding the presence of a species by county was gathered from the [https://www.calflora.org/ Calflora Observation Hotline].<br />
<br />
Statewide lists of invasive plant species can be found at the [http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/IPC/encycloweedia/weedinfo/winfo_table-sciname.html California Department of Food & Agriculture] and the [https://www.cal-ipc.org/plants/profiles/California California Invasive Plant Council].<br />

<div>An [[Summaries of Environmental Topics in California's Central Coast Region| environmental summary]] created by the [[ENVS 560/L Watershed Systems]] class at [[CSUMB]].<br />
<br />
This page is a list of non-native, invasive plants that fall under one of two categories: 1) plant species being actively managed, or proposed for future control by organizations involved in the conservation and restoration of open space in [[California's Central Coast Region]], or 2) plant species recommended for management and observation at a county-wide and regional scales. This list was collated from a number of sources, all of which are listed in the References section of this page. Information regarding the presence of a species by county was gathered from the [https://www.calflora.org/ Calflora Observation Hotline].<br />
<br />
Statewide lists of invasive plant species can be found at the [http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/IPC/encycloweedia/weedinfo/winfo_table-sciname.html California Department of Food & Agriculture] and the [https://www.cal-ipc.org/plants/profiles/California California Invasive Plant Council].<br />

<div>An [[Summaries of Environmental Topics in California's Central Coast Region| environmental summary]] created by the [[ENVS 560/L Watershed Systems]] class at [[CSUMB]].<br />
<br />
This page is a list of non-native, invasive plants that fall under one of two categories: 1) plant species being actively managed, or proposed for future control by organizations involved in the conservation and restoration of open space in [[California's Central Coast Region]], or 2) plant species recommended for management and observation at a county-wide and regional scales. This list was collated from a number of sources, all of which are listed in the References section of this page. Information regarding the presence of a species by county was gathered from the [https://www.calflora.org/ Calflora Observation Hotline].<br />
<br />
Statewide lists of invasive plant species can be found at the [http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/IPC/encycloweedia/weedinfo/winfo_table-sciname.html California Department of Food & Agriculture] and the [https://www.cal-ipc.org/plants/profiles/California California Invasive Plant Council].<br />

<div>An [[Summaries of Environmental Topics in California's Central Coast Region| environmental summary]] created by the [[ENVS 560/L Watershed Systems]] class at [[CSUMB]].<br />
<br />
This page is a list of non-native, invasive plants that fall under one of two categories: 1) plant species being actively managed, or proposed for future control by organizations involved in the conservation and restoration of open space in [[California's Central Coast Region]], or 2) plant species recommended for management and observation at a county-wide and regional scales. This list was collated from a number of sources, all of which are listed in the References section of this page. Information regarding the presence of a species by county was gathered from the [https://www.calflora.org/ Calflora Observation Hotline].<br />
<br />
Statewide lists of invasive plant species can be found at the [http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/IPC/encycloweedia/weedinfo/winfo_table-sciname.html California Department of Food & Agriculture] and the [https://www.cal-ipc.org/plants/profiles/California California Invasive Plant Council].<br />

<div>An [[Summaries of Environmental Topics in California's Central Coast Region| environmental summary]] created by the [[ENVS 560/L Watershed Systems]] class at [[CSUMB]].<br />
<br />
This page is a list of non-native, invasive plants that fall under one of two categories: 1) plant species being actively managed, or proposed for future control by organizations involved in the conservation and restoration of open space in [[California's Central Coast Region]], or 2) plant species recommended for management and observation at a county-wide and regional scales. This list was collated from a number of sources, all of which are listed in the References section of this page. Information regarding the presence of a species by county was gathered from the [https://www.calflora.org/ Calflora Observation Hotline].<br />
<br />
Statewide lists of invasive plant species can be found at the [http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/IPC/encycloweedia/weedinfo/winfo_table-sciname.html California Department of Food & Agriculture] and the [https://www.cal-ipc.org/plants/profiles/California California Invasive Plant Council].<br />

<div>An [[Summaries of Environmental Topics in California's Central Coast Region| environmental summary]] created by the [[ENVS 560/L Watershed Systems]] class at [[CSUMB]].<br />
<br />
This page is a list of non-native, invasive plants that fall under one of two categories: 1) plant species being actively managed, or proposed for future control by organizations involved in the conservation and restoration of open space in [[California's Central Coast Region]], or 2) plant species recommended for management and observation at a county-wide and regional scales. This list was collated from a number of sources, all of which are listed in the References section of this page. Information regarding the presence of a species by county was gathered from the [https://www.calflora.org/ Calflora Observation Hotline].<br />
<br />
Statewide lists of invasive plant species can be found at the [http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/IPC/encycloweedia/weedinfo/winfo_table-sciname.html California Department of Food & Agriculture] and the [https://www.cal-ipc.org/plants/profiles/California California Invasive Plant Council].<br />

<div>An [[Summaries of Environmental Topics in California's Central Coast Region| environmental summary]] created by the [[ENVS 560/L Watershed Systems]] class at [[CSUMB]].<br />
<br />
This page is a list of non-native, invasive plants that fall under one of two categories: 1) plant species being actively managed, or proposed for future control by organizations involved in the conservation and restoration of open space in [[California's Central Coast Region]], or 2) plant species recommended for management and observation at a county-wide and regional scales. This list was collated from a number of sources, all of which are listed in the References section of this page. Information regarding the presence of a species by county was gathered from the [https://www.calflora.org/ Calflora Observation Hotline].<br />
<br />
Statewide lists of invasive plant species can be found at the [http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/IPC/encycloweedia/weedinfo/winfo_table-sciname.html California Department of Food & Agriculture] and the [https://www.cal-ipc.org/plants/profiles/California California Invasive Plant Council].<br />

<div>An [[Summaries of Environmental Topics in California's Central Coast Region| environmental summary]] created by the [[ENVS 560/L Watershed Systems]] class at [[CSUMB]].<br />
<br />
This page is a list of non-native, invasive plants that fall under one of two categories: 1) plant species being actively managed, or proposed for future control by organizations involved in the conservation and restoration of open space in [[California's Central Coast Region]], or 2) plant species recommended for management and observation at a county-wide and regional scales. This list was collated from a number of sources, all of which are listed in the References section of this page. Information regarding the presence of a species by county was gathered from the [https://www.calflora.org/ Calflora Observation Hotline].<br />
<br />
Statewide lists of invasive plant species can be found at the [http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/IPC/encycloweedia/weedinfo/winfo_table-sciname.html California Department of Food & Agriculture] and the [https://www.cal-ipc.org/plants/profiles/California California Invasive Plant Council].<br />

<div>An [[Summaries of Environmental Topics in California's Central Coast Region| environmental summary]] created by the [[ENVS 560/L Watershed Systems]] class at [[CSUMB]].<br />
<br />
This page is a list of non-native, invasive plants that fall under one of two categories: 1) plant species being actively managed, or proposed for future control by organizations involved in the conservation and restoration of open space in [[California's Central Coast Region]], or 2) plant species recommended for management and observation at a county-wide and regional scales. This list was collated from a number of sources, all of which are listed in the References section of this page. Information regarding the presence of a species by county was gathered from the [https://www.calflora.org/ Calflora Observation Hotline].<br />
<br />
Statewide lists of invasive plant species can be found at the [http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/IPC/encycloweedia/weedinfo/winfo_table-sciname.html California Department of Food & Agriculture] and the [https://www.cal-ipc.org/plants/profiles/California California Invasive Plant Council].<br />

<div>An [[Summaries of Environmental Topics in California's Central Coast Region| environmental summary]] created by the [[ENVS 560/L Watershed Systems]] class at [[CSUMB]].<br />
<br />
This page is a list of non-native, invasive plants that fall under one of two categories: 1) plant species being actively managed, or proposed for future control by organizations involved in the conservation and restoration of open space in [[California's Central Coast Region]], or 2) plant species recommended for management and observation at a county-wide and regional scales. This list was collated from a number of sources, all of which are listed in the References section of this page. Information regarding the presence of a species by county was gathered from the [https://www.calflora.org/ Calflora Observation Hotline].<br />
<br />
Statewide lists of invasive plant species can be found at the [http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/IPC/encycloweedia/weedinfo/winfo_table-sciname.html California Department of Food & Agriculture] and the [https://www.cal-ipc.org/plants/profiles/California California Invasive Plant Council].<br />

<div>An [[Summaries of Environmental Topics in California's Central Coast Region| environmental summary]] created by the [[ENVS 560/L Watershed Systems]] class at [[CSUMB]].<br />
<br />
This page is a list of non-native, invasive plants that fall under one of two categories: 1) plant species being actively managed, or proposed for future control by organizations involved in the conservation and restoration of open space in [[California's Central Coast Region]], or 2) plant species recommended for management and observation at a county-wide and regional scales. This list was collated from a number of sources, all of which are listed in the References section of this page. Information regarding the presence of a species by county was gathered from the [https://www.calflora.org/ Calflora Observation Hotline].<br />
<br />
Statewide lists of invasive plant species can be found at the [http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/IPC/encycloweedia/weedinfo/winfo_table-sciname.html California Department of Food & Agriculture] and the [https://www.cal-ipc.org/plants/profiles/California California Invasive Plant Council].<br />

<div>An [[Summaries of Environmental Topics in California's Central Coast Region| environmental summary]] created by the [[ENVS 560/L Watershed Systems]] class at [[CSUMB]].<br />
<br />
This page is a list of non-native, invasive plants that fall under one of two categories: 1) plant species being actively managed, or proposed for future control by organizations involved in the conservation and restoration of open space in [[California's Central Coast Region]], or 2) plant species recommended for management and observation at a county-wide and regional scales. This list was collated from a number of sources, all of which are listed in the References section of this page. Information regarding the presence of a species by county was gathered from the [https://www.calflora.org/ Calflora Observation Hotline].<br />
<br />
Statewide lists of invasive plant species can be found at the [http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/IPC/encycloweedia/weedinfo/winfo_table-sciname.html California Department of Food & Agriculture] and the [https://www.cal-ipc.org/plants/profiles/California California Invasive Plant Council].<br />

<div>An [[Summaries of Environmental Topics in California's Central Coast Region| environmental summary]] created by the [[ENVS 560/L Watershed Systems]] class at [[CSUMB]].<br />
<br />
This page is a list of non-native, invasive plants that fall under one of two categories: 1) plant species being actively managed, or proposed for future control by organizations involved in the conservation and restoration of open space in [[California's Central Coast Region]], or 2) plant species recommended for management and observation at a county-wide and regional scales. This list was collated from a number of sources, all of which are listed in the References section of this page. Information regarding the presence of a species by county was gathered from the [https://www.calflora.org/ Calflora Observation Hotline].<br />
<br />
Statewide lists of invasive plant species can be found at the [http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/IPC/encycloweedia/weedinfo/winfo_table-sciname.html California Department of Food & Agriculture] and the [https://www.cal-ipc.org/plants/profiles/California California Invasive Plant Council].<br />

<div>An [[Summaries of Environmental Topics in California's Central Coast Region| environmental summary]] created by the [[ENVS 560/L Watershed Systems]] class at [[CSUMB]].<br />
<br />
This page is a list of non-native, invasive plants that fall under one of two categories: 1) plant species being actively managed, or proposed for future control by organizations involved in the conservation and restoration of open space in [[California's Central Coast Region]], or 2) plant species recommended for management and observation at a county-wide and regional scales. This list was collated from a number of sources, all of which are listed in the References section of this page. Information regarding the presence of a species by county was gathered from the [https://www.calflora.org/ Calflora Observation Hotline].<br />
<br />
Statewide lists of invasive plant species can be found at the [http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/IPC/encycloweedia/weedinfo/winfo_table-sciname.html California Department of Food & Agriculture] and the [https://www.cal-ipc.org/plants/profiles/California California Invasive Plant Council].<br />

<div>An [[Summaries of Environmental Topics in California's Central Coast Region| environmental summary]] created by the [[ENVS 560/L Watershed Systems]] class at [[CSUMB]].<br />
<br />
This page is a list of non-native, invasive plants that fall under one of two categories: 1) plant species being actively managed, or proposed for future control by organizations involved in the conservation and restoration of open space in [[California's Central Coast Region]], or 2) plant species recommended for management and observation at a county-wide and regional scales. This list was collated from a number of sources, all of which are listed in the References section of this page. Information regarding the presence of a species by county was gathered from the [https://www.calflora.org/ Calflora Observation Hotline].<br />
<br />
Statewide lists of invasive plant species can be found at the [http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/IPC/encycloweedia/weedinfo/winfo_table-sciname.html California Department of Food & Agriculture] and the [https://www.cal-ipc.org/plants/profiles/California California Invasive Plant Council].<br />

<div>An [[Summaries of Environmental Topics in California's Central Coast Region| environmental summary]] created by the [[ENVS 560/L Watershed Systems]] class at [[CSUMB]].<br />
<br />
This page is a list of non-native, invasive plants that fall under one of two categories: 1) plant species being actively managed, or proposed for future control by organizations involved in the conservation and restoration of open space in [[California's Central Coast Region]], or 2) plant species recommended for management and observation at a county-wide and regional scales. This list was collated from a number of sources, all of which are listed in the References section of this page. Information regarding the presence of a species by county was gathered from the [https://www.calflora.org/ Calflora Observation Hotline].<br />
<br />
Statewide lists of invasive plant species can be found at the [http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/IPC/encycloweedia/weedinfo/winfo_table-sciname.html California Department of Food & Agriculture] and the [https://www.cal-ipc.org/plants/profiles/California California Invasive Plant Council].<br />

<div>An [[Summaries of Environmental Topics in California's Central Coast Region| environmental summary]] created by the [[ENVS 560/L Watershed Systems]] class at [[CSUMB]].<br />
<br />
This page is a list of non-native, invasive plants that fall under one of two categories: 1) plant species being actively managed, or proposed for future control by organizations involved in the conservation and restoration of open space in [[California's Central Coast Region]], or 2) plant species recommended for management and observation at a county-wide and regional scales. This list was collated from a number of sources, all of which are listed in the References section of this page. Information regarding the presence of a species by county was gathered from the [https://www.calflora.org/ Calflora Observation Hotline].<br />
<br />
Statewide lists of invasive plant species can be found at the [http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/IPC/encycloweedia/weedinfo/winfo_table-sciname.html California Department of Food & Agriculture] and the [https://www.cal-ipc.org/plants/profiles/California California Invasive Plant Council].<br />

<div>An [[Summaries of Environmental Topics in California's Central Coast Region| environmental summary]] created by the [[ENVS 560/L Watershed Systems]] class at [[CSUMB]].<br />
<br />
This page is a list of non-native, invasive plants that fall under one of two categories: 1) plant species being actively managed, or proposed for future control by organizations involved in the conservation and restoration of open space in [[California's Central Coast Region]], or 2) plant species recommended for management and observation at a county-wide and regional scales. This list was collated from a number of sources, all of which are listed in the References section of this page. Information regarding the presence of a species by county was gathered from the [https://www.calflora.org/ Calflora Observation Hotline].<br />
<br />
Statewide lists of invasive plant species can be found at the [http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/IPC/encycloweedia/weedinfo/winfo_table-sciname.html California Department of Food & Agriculture] and the [https://www.cal-ipc.org/plants/profiles/California California Invasive Plant Council].<br />

<div>An [[Summaries of Environmental Topics in California's Central Coast Region| environmental summary]] created by the [[ENVS 560/L Watershed Systems]] class at [[CSUMB]].<br />
<br />
This page is a list of non-native, invasive plants that fall under one of two categories: 1) plant species being actively managed, or proposed for future control by organizations involved in the conservation and restoration of open space in [[California's Central Coast Region]], or 2) plant species recommended for management and observation at a county-wide and regional scales. This list was collated from a number of sources, all of which are listed in the References section of this page. Information regarding the presence of a species by county was gathered from the [https://www.calflora.org/ Calflora Observation Hotline].<br />
<br />
Statewide lists of invasive plant species can be found at the [http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/IPC/encycloweedia/weedinfo/winfo_table-sciname.html California Department of Food & Agriculture] and the [https://www.cal-ipc.org/plants/profiles/California California Invasive Plant Council].<br />

<div>An [[Summaries of Environmental Topics in California's Central Coast Region| environmental summary]] created by the [[ENVS 560/L Watershed Systems]] class at [[CSUMB]].<br />
<br />
This page is a list of non-native, invasive plants that fall under one of two categories: 1) plant species being actively managed, or proposed for future control by organizations involved in the conservation and restoration of open space in [[California's Central Coast Region]], or 2) plant species recommended for management and observation at a county-wide and regional scales. This list was collated from a number of sources, all of which are listed in the References section of this page. Information regarding the presence of a species by county was gathered from the [https://www.calflora.org/ Calflora Observation Hotline].<br />
<br />
Statewide lists of invasive plant species can be found at the [http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/IPC/encycloweedia/weedinfo/winfo_table-sciname.html California Department of Food & Agriculture] and the [https://www.cal-ipc.org/plants/profiles/California California Invasive Plant Council].<br />

<div>An [[Summaries of Environmental Topics in California's Central Coast Region| environmental summary]] created by the [[ENVS 560/L Watershed Systems]] class at [[CSUMB]].<br />
<br />
This page is a list of non-native, invasive plants that fall under one of two categories: 1) plant species being actively managed, or proposed for future control by organizations involved in the conservation and restoration of open space in [[California's Central Coast Region]], or 2) plant species recommended for management and observation at a county-wide and regional scales. This list was collated from a number of sources, all of which are listed in the References section of this page. Information regarding the presence of a species by county was gathered from the [https://www.calflora.org/ Calflora Observation Hotline].<br />
<br />
Statewide lists of invasive plant species can be found at the [http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/IPC/encycloweedia/weedinfo/winfo_table-sciname.html California Department of Food & Agriculture] and the [https://www.cal-ipc.org/plants/profiles/California California Invasive Plant Council].<br />

<div>An [[Summaries of Environmental Topics in California's Central Coast Region| environmental summary]] created by the [[ENVS 560/L Watershed Systems]] class at [[CSUMB]].<br />
<br />
This page is a list of non-native, invasive plants that fall under one of two categories: 1) plant species being actively managed, or proposed for future control by organizations involved in the conservation and restoration of open space in [[California's Central Coast Region]], or 2) plant species recommended for management and observation at a county-wide and regional scales. This list was collated from a number of sources, all of which are listed in the References section of this page. Information regarding the presence of a species by county was gathered from the [https://www.calflora.org/ Calflora Observation Hotline].<br />
<br />
Statewide lists of invasive plant species can be found at the [http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/IPC/encycloweedia/weedinfo/winfo_table-sciname.html California Department of Food & Agriculture] and the [https://www.cal-ipc.org/plants/profiles/California California Invasive Plant Council].<br />

<div>An [[Summaries of Environmental Topics in California's Central Coast Region| environmental summary]] created by the [[ENVS 560/L Watershed Systems]] class at [[CSUMB]].<br />
<br />
This page is a list of non-native, invasive plants that fall under one of two categories: 1) plant species being actively managed, or proposed for future control by organizations involved in the conservation and restoration of open space in [[California's Central Coast Region]], or 2) plant species recommended for management and observation at a county-wide and regional scales. This list was collated from a number of sources, all of which are listed in the References section of this page. Information regarding the presence of a species by county was gathered from the [https://www.calflora.org/ Calflora Observation Hotline].<br />
<br />
Statewide lists of invasive plant species can be found at the [http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/IPC/encycloweedia/weedinfo/winfo_table-sciname.html California Department of Food & Agriculture] and the [https://www.cal-ipc.org/plants/profiles/California California Invasive Plant Council].<br />

<div>An [[Summaries of Environmental Topics in California's Central Coast Region| environmental summary]] created by the [[ENVS 560/L Watershed Systems]] class at [[CSUMB]].<br />
<br />
This page is a list of non-native, invasive plants that fall under one of two categories: 1) plant species being actively managed, or proposed for future control by organizations involved in the conservation and restoration of open space in [[California's Central Coast Region]], or 2) plant species recommended for management and observation at a county-wide and regional scales. This list was collated from a number of sources, all of which are listed in the References section of this page. Information regarding the presence of a species by county was gathered from the [https://www.calflora.org/ Calflora Observation Hotline].<br />
<br />
Statewide lists of invasive plant species can be found at the [http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/IPC/encycloweedia/weedinfo/winfo_table-sciname.html California Department of Food & Agriculture] and the [https://www.cal-ipc.org/plants/profiles/California California Invasive Plant Council].<br />

<div>An [[Summaries of Environmental Topics in California's Central Coast Region| environmental summary]] created by the [[ENVS 560/L Watershed Systems]] class at [[CSUMB]].<br />
<br />
This page is a list of non-native, invasive plants that fall under one of two categories: 1) plant species being actively managed, or proposed for future control by organizations involved in the conservation and restoration of open space in [[California's Central Coast Region]], or 2) plant species recommended for management and observation at a county-wide and regional scales. This list was collated from a number of sources, all of which are listed in the References section of this page. Information regarding the presence of a species by county was gathered from the [https://www.calflora.org/ Calflora Observation Hotline].<br />
<br />
Statewide lists of invasive plant species can be found at the [http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/IPC/encycloweedia/weedinfo/winfo_table-sciname.html California Department of Food & Agriculture] and the [https://www.cal-ipc.org/plants/profiles/California California Invasive Plant Council].<br />

<div>An [[Summaries of Environmental Topics in California's Central Coast Region| environmental summary]] created by the [[ENVS 560/L Watershed Systems]] class at [[CSUMB]].<br />
<br />
This page is a list of non-native, invasive plants that fall under one of two categories: 1) plant species being actively managed, or proposed for future control by organizations involved in the conservation and restoration of open space in [[California's Central Coast Region]], or 2) plant species recommended for management and observation at a county-wide and regional scales. This list was collated from a number of sources, all of which are listed in the References section of this page. Information regarding the presence of a species by county was gathered from the [https://www.calflora.org/ Calflora Observation Hotline].<br />
<br />
Statewide lists of invasive plant species can be found at the [http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/IPC/encycloweedia/weedinfo/winfo_table-sciname.html California Department of Food & Agriculture] and the [https://www.cal-ipc.org/plants/profiles/California California Invasive Plant Council].<br />

<div>An [[Summaries of Environmental Topics in California's Central Coast Region| environmental summary]] created by the [[ENVS 560/L Watershed Systems]] class at [[CSUMB]].<br />
<br />
This page is a list of non-native, invasive plants that fall under one of two categories: 1) plant species being actively managed, or proposed for future control by organizations involved in the conservation and restoration of open space in [[California's Central Coast Region]], or 2) plant species recommended for management and observation at a county-wide and regional scales. This list was collated from a number of sources, all of which are listed in the References section of this page. Information regarding the presence of a species by county was gathered from the [https://www.calflora.org/ Calflora Observation Hotline].<br />
<br />
Statewide lists of invasive plant species can be found at the [http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/IPC/encycloweedia/weedinfo/winfo_table-sciname.html California Department of Food & Agriculture] and the [https://www.cal-ipc.org/plants/profiles/California California Invasive Plant Council].<br />

<div>An [[Summaries of Environmental Topics in California's Central Coast Region| environmental summary]] created by the [[ENVS 560/L Watershed Systems]] class at [[CSUMB]].<br />
<br />
This page is a list of non-native, invasive plants that fall under one of two categories: 1) plant species being actively managed, or proposed for future control by organizations involved in the conservation and restoration of open space in [[California's Central Coast Region]], or 2) plant species recommended for management and observation at a county-wide and regional scales. This list was collated from a number of sources, all of which are listed in the References section of this page. Information regarding the presence of a species by county was gathered from the [https://www.calflora.org/ Calflora Observation Hotline].<br />
<br />
Statewide lists of invasive plant species can be found at the [http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/IPC/encycloweedia/weedinfo/winfo_table-sciname.html California Department of Food & Agriculture] and the [https://www.cal-ipc.org/plants/profiles/California California Invasive Plant Council].<br />

<div>An [[Summaries of Environmental Topics in California's Central Coast Region| environmental summary]] created by the [[ENVS 560/L Watershed Systems]] class at [[CSUMB]].<br />
<br />
This page is a list of non-native, invasive plants that fall under one of two categories: 1) plant species being actively managed, or proposed for future control by organizations involved in the conservation and restoration of open space in [[California's Central Coast Region]], or 2) plant species recommended for management and observation at a county-wide and regional scales. This list was collated from a number of sources, all of which are listed in the References section of this page. Information regarding the presence of a species by county was gathered from the [https://www.calflora.org/ Calflora Observation Hotline].<br />
<br />
Statewide lists of invasive plant species can be found at the [http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/IPC/encycloweedia/weedinfo/winfo_table-sciname.html California Department of Food & Agriculture] and the [https://www.cal-ipc.org/plants/profiles/California California Invasive Plant Council].<br />

<div>An [[Summaries of Environmental Topics in California's Central Coast Region| environmental summary]] created by the [[ENVS 560/L Watershed Systems]] class at [[CSUMB]].<br />
<br />
This page is a list of non-native, invasive plants that fall under one of two categories: 1) plant species being actively managed, or proposed for future control by organizations involved in the conservation and restoration of open space in [[California's Central Coast Region]], or 2) plant species recommended for management and observation at a county-wide and regional scales. This list was collated from a number of sources, all of which are listed in the References section of this page. Information regarding the presence of a species by county was gathered from the [https://www.calflora.org/ Calflora Observation Hotline].<br />
<br />
Statewide lists of invasive plant species can be found at the [http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/IPC/encycloweedia/weedinfo/winfo_table-sciname.html California Department of Food & Agriculture] and the [https://www.cal-ipc.org/plants/profiles/California California Invasive Plant Council].<br />

<div>An [[Summaries of Environmental Topics in California's Central Coast Region| environmental summary]] created by the [[ENVS 560/L Watershed Systems]] class at [[CSUMB]].<br />
<br />
This page is a list of non-native, invasive plants that fall under one of two categories: 1) plant species being actively managed, or proposed for future control by organizations involved in the conservation and restoration of open space in [[California's Central Coast Region]], or 2) plant species recommended for management and observation at a county-wide and regional scales. This list was collated from a number of sources, all of which are listed in the [[References]] section of this page. Information regarding the presence of a species by county was gathered from the [https://www.calflora.org/ Calflora Observation Hotline].<br />
<br />
Statewide lists of invasive plant species can be found at the [http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/IPC/encycloweedia/weedinfo/winfo_table-sciname.html California Department of Food & Agriculture] and the [https://www.cal-ipc.org/plants/profiles/California California Invasive Plant Council].<br />

<div>An [[Summaries of Environmental Topics in California's Central Coast Region| environmental summary]] created by the [[ENVS 560/L Watershed Systems]] class at [[CSUMB]].<br />
<br />
This page is a list of non-native, invasive plants that fall under one of two categories: 1) plant species being actively managed, or proposed for future control by organizations involved in the conservation and restoration of open space in [[California's Central Coast Region]], or 2) plant species recommended for management and observation at a county-wide and regional scales. This list was collated from a number of sources, all of which are listed in the [References] section of this page. Information regarding the presence of a species by county was gathered from the [https://www.calflora.org/ Calflora Observation Hotline].<br />
<br />
Statewide lists of invasive plant species can be found at the [http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/IPC/encycloweedia/weedinfo/winfo_table-sciname.html California Department of Food & Agriculture] and the [https://www.cal-ipc.org/plants/profiles/California California Invasive Plant Council].<br />

<div>An [[Summaries of Environmental Topics in California's Central Coast Region| environmental summary]] created by the [[ENVS 560/L Watershed Systems]] class at [[CSUMB]].<br />
<br />
This page is a list of non-native, invasive plants that fall under one of two categories: 1) plant species being actively managed, or proposed for future control by organizations involved in the conservation and restoration of open space in [[California's Central Coast Region]], or 2) plant species recommended for management and observation at a county-wide and regional scales. This list was collated from a number of sources, all of which are listed in the References section of this page. Information regarding the presence of a species by county was gathered from the [https://www.calflora.org/ Calflora Observation Hotline].<br />
<br />
Statewide lists of invasive plant species can be found at the [http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/IPC/encycloweedia/weedinfo/winfo_table-sciname.html California Department of Food & Agriculture] and the [https://www.cal-ipc.org/plants/profiles/California California Invasive Plant Council].<br />

<div>An [[Summaries of Environmental Topics in California's Central Coast Region| environmental summary]] created by the [[ENVS 560/L Watershed Systems]] class at [[CSUMB]].<br />
<br />
This page is a list of non-native, invasive plants that fall under one of two categories: 1) plant species being actively managed, or proposed for future control by organizations involved in the conservation and restoration of open space in [[California's Central Coast Region]], or 2) plant species recommended for management and observation at a county-wide and regional scales. This list was collated from a number of sources, all of which are listed in the References section of this page. Information regarding the presence of a species by county was gathered from the [https://www.calflora.org/ Calflora Observation Hotline].<br />
<br />
Statewide lists of invasive plant species can be found at [http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/IPC/encycloweedia/weedinfo/winfo_table-sciname.html California Department of Food & Agriculture] and the [https://www.cal-ipc.org/plants/profiles/California Invasive Plant Council].<br />

<div>An [[Summaries of Environmental Topics in California's Central Coast Region| environmental summary]] created by the [[ENVS 560/L Watershed Systems]] class at [[CSUMB]].<br />
<br />
This page is a list of non-native, invasive plants that fall under one of two categories: 1) plant species being actively managed, or proposed for future control by organizations involved in the conservation and restoration of open space in [[California's Central Coast Region]], or 2) plant species recommended for management and observation at a county-wide and regional scales. This list was collated from a number of sources, all of which are listed in the References section of this page. Information regarding the presence of a species by county was gathered from the [https://www.calflora.org/ Calflora Observation Hotline].<br />
<br />
Statewide lists of invasive plant species can be found at [http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/IPC/encycloweedia/weedinfo/winfo_table-sciname.html California Department of Food & Agriculture] <br />

<div>An [[Summaries of Environmental Topics in California's Central Coast Region| environmental summary]] created by the [[ENVS 560/L Watershed Systems]] class at [[CSUMB]].<br />
<br />
This page is a list of non-native, invasive plants that fall under one of two categories: 1) plant species being actively managed, or proposed for future control by organizations involved in the conservation and restoration of open space in [[California's Central Coast Region]], or 2) plant species recommended for management and observation at a county-wide and regional scales. This list was collated from a number of sources, all of which are listed in the References section of this page. Information regarding the presence of a species by county was gathered from the [https://www.calflora.org/ Calflora Observation Hotline].<br />
<br />
Statewide lists of invasive plant species can be found at [California Department of Food & Agriculture http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/IPC/encycloweedia/weedinfo/winfo_table-sciname.html] <br />

<br />
This page is a list of non-native, invasive plants that fall under one of two categories: 1) plant species being actively managed, or proposed for future control by organizations involved in the conservation and restoration of open space in [[California's Central Coast Region]], or 2) plant species recommended for management and observation at a county-wide and regional scales. Information regarding the presence of a species by county was gathered from the [https://www.calflora.org/ Calflora Observation Hotline]. <br />

This page is a list of non-native, invasive plants that fall under one of two categories: 1) plant species being actively managed, or proposed for future control by organizations involved in the conservation and restoration of open space in [[California's Central Coast Region]], or 2) plant species recommended for management and observation at a county-wide and regional scales. Information regarding the presence of a species by county was gathered from the [https://www.calflora.org/ Calflora Observation Hotline]. <br />

<div>An [[Summaries of Environmental Topics in California's Central Coast Region| environmental summary]] created by the [[ENVS 560/L Watershed Systems]] class at [[CSUMB]].<br />
<br />
This page is a list of non-native, invasive plants that fall under one of two categories: 1) plant species being actively managed, or proposed for future control by organizations involved in the conservation and restoration of open space in [[California's Central Coast Region]], or 2) plant species recommended for management and observation at a county-wide and regional scales. Information regarding the presence of a species by county was gathered from the [https://www.calflora.org/ Calflora Observation Hotline]. <br />

<br />
*Monterey pine (''Pinus radiata'') is native to closed-cone coniferous forest within three distinct coastal areas in Central California. The Monterey pine is an evergreen conifer growing to heighs between 15 and 30 meters, with needles mostly 8-15 centimeters long and generally in bundles of three<ref>Matthews, M.A. 2006. An illustrated field key to the flowering plants of Monterey County: California Native Plant Society</ref>. It's cones are asymmetrical, remain attached to branches for years, and often open in response to fire or high temperatures. <ref name="Monterey Pine Forest">Bates, D.T., Dalessio, R., Nedeff, N. and Stevens, J. 2011. The Monterey pine forest, California's living legacy: Pine Nut Press.</ref><br />
<br />
*Monterey pine forest occurs within low elevations that are subject to marine climate influences and common are associated with sediments of marine origin. Soils in Monterey pine forest are often acidic with a distinct clay layer.<ref name="ESCTP">Elkhorn Slough Coastal Training Program. 2006. Pinus radiata fact sheet http://www.elkhornsloughctp.org/factsheet/factsheet.php?SPECIES_ID=35</ref><br />
<br />
==Locations of interest==<br />
<br />
*Monterey pines are limited in occurrence. They are known from Monterey County (Monterey Peninsula), Santa Cruz/San Mateo County (Ano Nuevo) and San Luis Obispo County (Cambria).<br />
<br />
*Monterey pines are also known from two island populations off the coast of Baja California, Mexico: Isla Cedros and Isla Guadelupe<ref name="ESCTP"/><br />
<br />
*Monterey pines, known outside the United States as Radiata pine, are planted as a timber crop in New Zealand, Australia, Chile, South Africa, and Spain. <ref name="Monterey Pine Forest"/><br />
<br />
*Native Range: According to pollen recovered from sediment cores, Monterey pines have been present in isolated patches along the California coast over the past 2 million years. Populations appear to have been most abundant during favorable climate conditions at the end of ice ages and interglacials and during warmer periods of ice ages. A positive correlation between Monterey pine pollen and charcoal also speaks to the importance of fire in its ability to colonize. <ref>Millar, C.I. 1998. Reconsidering the conservation of Monterey pine. Fremontia Vol. 26, No. 3. pp 12-16 </ref><br />

1. Monterey pine forest is a unique forest community that supports a variety of sensitive plant species, besides Monterey pine (a [[California Native Plant Society]] 1B.1 species) itself. The [[California Natural Diversity Database]] lists:<br />
<br />
*Hickman's onion (''Allium hickmanii'') (CNPS 1B.1)<br />
*Hooker's manzanita (''Arctostaphylos hookeri'' ssp. ''hookeri'') (CNPS 1B.2)<br />
*Pajaro manzanita (''Arctostaphylos pajaroensis'') (CNPS 1B.1)<br />
*Sandmat manzanita (''Arctostaphylos pumila'') (CNPS 1B.2)<br />
*Monterey cypress (''Hesperocyparis macrocarpa'') (CNPS 1B.2)<br />
*Yadon's rein orchid (''Piperia yadonii'') (Federal endangered, CNPS 1B.1)<br />
*Hickman's cinquefoil (''Potentilla hickmanii'') (Federal endangered, State endangered, CNPS 1B.1)<br />
*Pine rose (''Rosa pinetorum'') (CNPS 1B.2)<br />

<br />
3. Monterey pine forest provides habitat for a variety of wildlife, including Monterey dusky-footed woodrat, mountain lion, bobcat, black-tailed deer, and birds including scrub jay <ref name="Monterey Pine Forest"/>, brown creeper <ref>https://sora.unm.edu/sites/default/files/Unitt%20%26%20Rea.pdf</ref>, and chestnut-backed chickadees <ref>https://plants.usda.gov/plantguide/pdf/cs_pira2.pdf</ref><br />
<br />
==Current protection plans==<br />
<br />
*275 acres of Monterey pine forest are preserved in the Huckleberry Hill Natural Habitat Area in Del Monte Forest, Pebble Beach, California.<br />
*Point Lobos State Natural Reserve and Ano Nuevo State Park protect Monterey pine forest.<br />
*Jack's Peak County Park in Monterey County protects Monterey pine forest.<br />
<br />
==Laws, policies, and regulations==<br />
<br />
Monterey pines are identified in several Central California Coast local ordinances:<br />
<br />
*City of Carmel by the Sea: City code emphasizes protection of Monterey pine forest and Monterey pine trees. Removal of a Monterey pine requires a permit. <ref>City of Carmel Tree Ordinance https://www.codepublishing.com/CA/CarmelbytheSea/html/Carmel17/Carmel1748.html</ref><br />
*City of Pacific Grove: City code states that Monterey pines >6-inches in diameter at 54-inches above ground are protected and require a permit for removal.<ref>City of Pacific Grove Tree Ordinance https://www.codepublishing.com/CA/PacificGrove/html/PacificGrove12/PacificGrove1220.html</ref><br />
*City of Monterey: City code does not list Monterey pines specifically, but the City Forester can require replacement of removed trees at 1:1 or 3:1 mitigation ratios. Conifers >30-feet-high or 12-inches diameter at 54-inches above grade are considered "landmark" trees. <ref>Monterey Tree Ordinance https://www.codepublishing.com/CA/Monterey/?Monterey37.html</ref><br />
*City of Cambria: The Cambria Forest Committee requires four replacement Monterey pines be planted for every one tree removed. <ref>Cambria Forest Committee http://cambriaforestcommittee.org/frequently-asked-questions/tree-replacement-requirements/ </ref><br />
<br />
*Monterey County: Monterey pines are not named in the Monterey County Municipal Code as a protected tree species (Section 21.64.260). <ref> Monterey County Code Section 21.64.260 https://library.municode.com/ca/monterey_county/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=TIT21ZO_CH21.64SPRE_21.64.260PROAOTPRTR</ref> <br />
<br />
Monterey pine forest is also recognized by State Agencies and Organizations<br />
<br />
*[[California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW)]]: Monterey pine forest is listed as a critically imperiled (S1) community by the [[California Natural Diversity Database]].<ref>https://map.dfg.ca.gov/rarefind/view/RF_FieldDescriptions.htm</ref><br />
*[[California Native Plant Society]]: Monterey pines are categorized as a 1B.1 plant (rare, threatened, or endangered in California and elsewhere). The Monterey pine 1B designation by CNPS requires that the species be evaluated as part of the [[California Environmental Quality Act]] process for project approvals.<ref>http://www.rareplants.cnps.org/glossary.html</ref><br />
*[[California Coastal Commission]]: Monterey pine forest is identified as sensitive habitat in seven Land Use Plans. Large, contiguous stands of Monterey pine that support special status species meet the definition of Environmentally Sensitive Habitat (ESHA) under the Coastal Act.<ref>Monterey County Local Coastal Program Major Amendment Number 1-05 (Measure A) https://documents.coastal.ca.gov/reports/2006/3/Th8b-3-2006.pdf </ref><br />
<br />
==Central Coast Context==<br />
<br />
*The three distinct U.S. populations of Monterey pines occur on the Central California Coast.<br />
*The Monterey Peninsula occurrence of Monterey pine forest is the largest native occurrence worldwide. <ref>Monterey County Local Coastal Program Major Amendment Number 1-05 (Measure A) https://documents.coastal.ca.gov/reports/2006/3/Th8b-3-2006.pdf</ref><br />
<br />
'''Threats:'''<br />
*Monterey pine forest is threatened by development, fragmentation, climate change, bark beetles, and disease such as pitch canker (''Fusarium circinatum''). Pitch canker appears to especially affect fragmented Monterey pine forest, but is not as serious of a threat as initially thought. <ref name="ESCTP"/><br />
<br />
==Stakeholders==<br />
<br />
Stakeholders include entities who have an interest in protecting this unique resource. Examples include:<br />
<br />
'''Government agencies''' <br />
