SUMMARY:CANCELLED | French Broom Removal | March 26
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED \n\nFrench Broom Removal – Volunteer Event\nGlen Deven Ranch\nSaturday\, March 26 from 10:00AM-2:00PM \nJoin us at Glen Deven Ranch as we work to conserve the cultivated coastal grasslands of the property from the spread French Broom (Genista). \nFrench Broom is a fast spreading species which forms dense monocultures if left unmanaged. It can be devastating to the micro habitats of the Ranch\, especially the grasslands. Together with your help and the help of our partners we will be treating a large stand of French broom; ensuring that the population does not continue to spread across the Ranch. \nAt the event you will be helping us pull French Broom sprouts before they have a chance to grow and seed. You’ll also be hearing from our Project Manager Alex Kalish the effects of French Broom on the grasslands of the Central Coast. \n
