Revision as of 10:59, 5 April 2019

An environmental summary created by the ENVS 560/L Watershed Systems class at CSUMB.

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 Calflora Observation Hotline.
