Seed Preparation

This past week I have been busy preparing seed to be broadcasted out on Santa Cruz Island. We will broadcast the seed mixture in the C Grove and Former Red Gum Grove in the coming week. This seed mixture includes all native species including Baccharis douglasii, Rosa californica, and Bromus carinatus among many others.

SRI January Trip

Next Tuesday capstone students embark on the week long trip to the research station. This will be a good chance to get many of the groves out liars pin pointed with GPS. Doing research on papers and articles looking into why oaks do what they do we may have a better understanding of what we are dealing with in these groves! The winter break off from school has allowed me to catch up on some much needed rest and reading for this topic.
