    ARTICLE X. LANDSCAPING Sec 8-447. Purpose. The City of Del Rio experiences frequent droughts and is in a semi-arid climatic zone; therefore, it is the purpose of this article to: (1) Encourage the use of drought resistant plants and landscaping techniques that do not consume large quantities of water. Plants native to Southern Texas/Coahuila Desert are recommended. (2) Establish requirements for the installation and maintenance of landscaping on developed commercial properties in order to improve, protect, and preserve the appearance, character and value of such properties and their surrounding neighborhoods and thereby promote the public health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of Del Rio. More specifically, it is the purpose of this article to: (a) Aid in stabilizing the environment's ecological balance by contributing to the process of air purification, oxygen regeneration, storm water runoff retardation and groundwater recharge; (b) Reduce soil erosion by slowing storm water runoff; (c) Aid in the abatement of noise, glare and heat; (d) Aid in energy conservation; (e) Provide visual buffering and provide contrast and relief from the built-up environment; and (f) Protect and enhance property value and public and private investment and enhance the beautification of the city. (3) Contribute to and enhance the economic welfare of the city and the quality of life of citizens and visitors through the following: a. Promote the image of the southwestern border environment; and b. Create an attractive appearance along city streets

  • Declared Plant Policy
    Declared Plant Policy This policy relates to natural resources management under section 9(1)(d) of the Landscape South Australia Act 2019 (the Act), enabling co-ordinated implementation and promotion of sound management programs and practices for the use, development or protection of natural resources of the State. Specifically, this policy provides guidance on the use and management of natural resources relating to the prevention or control of impacts caused by pest species of plants that may have an adverse effect on the environment, primary production or the community, as per object s7(1)(f) of the Act. Texas needlegrass (Nassella leucotricha) Texas needlegrass is an unpalatable perennial grass that vegetatively resembles some native Austrostipa species and invades unsown pastures or native vegetation with a grassy understorey. It is localised in South Australia, with the largest infestations occurring in the Onkaparinga valley. The closely related Chilean needlegrass, Nassella neesiana, is the subject of a separate policy. Management Plan for Texas Needlegrass Outcomes • Pasture and native vegetation protected from degradation by unpalatable invasive grasses. Objectives • Contain and control existing infestations. • Prevent the establishment of new infestations. Best Practice Implementation • Containment and destruction of known infestations. • Inspection for new infestations as part of routine inspection by regional landscape boards and Green Adelaide, particularly in high risk regions containing or adjacent to existing infestations

    USGS/NOAA NORTH AMERICAN PACKRAT MIDDEN DATABASE DATA DICTIONARY by Laura E. Strickland1, Robert S. Thompson1, and Katherine H. Anderson2 Open-File Report 01- 022 2001 This report is preliminary and has not been reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards or with the North American Stratigraphic Code. Any use of trade, firm, or product names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government. U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY 1 Denver, Colorado 2 Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research, University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado INTRODUCTION Packrats, also known as wood rats or trade rats, are herbivorous Sigmodontine rodents belonging to the genus Neotoma (Vaughan, 1990). Twenty-one North American species of packrat are widely distributed from the Northwest Territories of Canada (65˚23' N) to tropical Nicaragua (13˚ N) (Vaughan, 1990). Arid and semi-arid lands of the southwestern United States presently support six different packrat species, which have probably persisted in the region, at least intermittently throughout the past 40,000 years (Vaughan, 1990). Vaughan (1990) summarizes the ecology of modern packrats in North America and the southwestern U.S. All modern packrats demonstrate a habit, unique among rodents, of collecting various items from their surrounding environment. These animals gather a variety of materials including plant debris, rocks, bones, insect parts, and human artifacts, generally from within a limited foraging range (30-50 m) of their dens. Not every packrat species has the same dietary preferences or collecting habits, and some species sample their environments better than others by collecting a greater variety of plant materials from the surrounding landscape.

At onetime nonarable land where Dust Bowl storms of the 1930s originated, the Purgatory Watershed is presently home to the Comanche National Grasslands, the Picketwire Canyonlands, and the expansive Piñon Canyon Maneuver Site.
