Use native, drought-tolerant plants. Reduce fire danger by creating a defensible space and managing vegetation. Avoid planting trees which will grow to block neighbors' views, interfere with utility lines, become less effective in screening, or create a wildfire hazard. Minimize or eliminate lawn area; do not use artificial turf. Choose plants appropriate to the topography and adapted to our Sunset Climate Zone 16. Protect native oak trees in construction and landscaping; hand-dig trenches within the drip line (canopy) of native oaks. Do not irrigate or place cobblestones under oaks. Choose plants that are compatible with oaks when planting within an oak canopy. Preserve riparian habitat and vegetation, e.g., willows. Control erosion by minimizing hardscape and using plants which can stabilize steep slopes. Do not use invasive plants; avoid poisonous ones. Consider using deer-resistant plants, or create local deer fencing. Fences should be minimized to allow the free movement of wildlife. -

A Guide on Common, Herbaceous, Hydrophytic Vegetation of Southern Texas
United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service Technical Note No: TX-PM-20-02 July 2020 A Guide on Common, Herbaceous, Hydrophytic Vegetation of Southern Texas Plant Materials Technical Note Horsetail Background: Wetlands are those lands that have saturated soils, shallow standing water or flooding during at least a portion of the growing season. These sites have soils that are saturated for at least two consecutive weeks during the growing season and support a distinct vegetation type adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Purpose: The purpose of this Technical Note is to provide information on the use of some common wetland plants of southern Texas. The list includes plants found along the Guadalupe River around Tivoli southward to the Rio Grande River floodplain. It is not intended to be a comprehensive treatment of the wetland flora of this region. Rather it is intended to introduce to the reader the many common wetland plant species that occur in south Texas. The guide is broken down into four categories: wildlife habitat, shoreline erosion control, water quality improvement and landscaping. Each species has a brief description of its identifying features, notes on its ecology or habitat, use and its National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) assessment. For more detailed information we suggest referring to our listed references. All pictures came from the USDA Plants Data Base or the E. “Kika” de la Garza Plant Materials Center. Plants for wildlife habitat: The plants listed in this section are primarily for waterbird and waterfowl habitat as well as for fish nursery and spawning areas. -

The national park was F E R N S established in 1968. In 1994, a cooperative agreement with the California Department of Parks and Recreation added Del Norte Coast, Prairie Creek, Athyriaceae – Lady Fern Family and Jedediah Smith Redwoods state parks to form a single administrative Athyrium filix-femina var. cyclosporum • northwestern lady fern unit. Together they comprise about 133,000 acres (540 km2), including 37 miles of coast line. Almost half of the remaining old growth redwood forests Blechnaceae – Deer Fern Family are protected in these four parks. -

The space was adopted from the City of Eureka, thanks to the Public Battling English Ivy—How Do 3 Works Dept. Adopt-a-Park Program. There are over one hundred Volunteer Corner 4 native plant species living together for the public to visit and become acquainted with. Some species are rarely seen anymore, others are Field Trip Reports: 5 Bluff Creek and E-Ne-Nuk more common, and all are native to Humboldt County. Walker Ridge and Cache Creek Lost Foods started as a business idea to reintroduce the public to our Mad River: Blue Lake and native food plants. "Lost foods" are the native plants that once West End Road covered our landscapes and were eaten and cared for by the original people of California. California became known as The Floristic Chapter Contacts 7 Province, and a world hot spot for biodiversity.
