The spread of invasive plants within the Yuba watershed causes ecologic, economic, and human harm. Originally established as ornamentals for the home and garden, or having a utilitarian purpose like erosion control, invasive plants have found a niche in California’s comfortable Mediterranean climate. These plants are often prolific seed producers, ingenious survival strategists and deceivingly dangerous to our native ecosystems. SYRCL has partnered with the Tahoe National Forest to remove select species of California’s most wanted invasive plants to maintain the integrity of our watershed.
