Removal of English Ivy and Other Shade-tolerant
|
In September 2000, the Redwood National and State Parks began a three-year project to remove English ivy and other invasive, shade-tolerant plants from the parks' old-growth redwood forests. The project is in the parks' North District between Crescent City and Hiouchi where approximately 100 acres of ivy infestations have been discovered. So far the following has been accomplished:
- A three-year NRPP project proposal was submitted in May 2000.
- Infestations were mapped (link to 238K map).
- The project was selected and funded in September 2000.
- Removal of heavy infestations began in the fall, funded by the parks.
- The first year of NRPP grant money was received in April 2001.
- A preliminary status report was prepared in May 2001.
- An annual progress report was prepared in December 2001.
