PMI Silicon Valley Outreach: Loma Mar Redwoods - Removal of French Broom
PMI Silicon Valley Outreach:
Loma Mar Redwoods - Removal of French Broom
Please join PMI’s San Francisco Bay Area Chapter and PMI’s Silicon Valley Chapter in this joint event as we support the San Mateo County Parks in removal of the invasive and prolific French Broom from the Loma Mar Redwoods portion of Memorial Park.
French Broom displaces native plant and forage species and makes reforestation difficult. Since it can grow more rapidly than most trees used in forestry, it shades out tree seedlings in areas that are revegetated after harvest. Infestations of broom degrade the quality of habitat for wildlife by displacing native forage species and changing microclimate conditions at soil levels. It burns readily and carries fire to the tree canopy layer, increasing both the frequency and intensity of fires. (Source: California Invasive Plant Council)
