We will treat Tamarisk trees with herbicide and we will pull out seedlings in the Sisquoc River and Piru Creek watersheds within the National Forest. We will monitor the success of our Tamarisk treatments that we conducted on the Sisquoc River in 2017 and 2018. The location of any new adults and any seedlings will be recorded and entered into the GIS. A new GIS will be constructed for work in the Piru Creek Watershed.
