Battling Jubata Grass
4/3/06

Assistant Land Manager Ken Collins is pictured above returning from a hard day’s work eradicating Jubata grass.  He was doing follow-up work on a field that was treated with 2% Round Up last year.  Jubata grass is one of the most invasive non-natives on ESF land.  We are in the middle of a five year program to eradicate major concentrations of the plant.  Long term follow-up is vital for long term success.  See the picture below for an idea of how much work remains.  There will be more about our Jubata grass program in the summer issue of our newsletter, Tidal Exchange.
