The program primarily targets French Broom, a highly flammable and aggressive foreign invader that swallows our native grasslands and even creeps into our forests. Removing its monoculture facilitates the return of native vegetation, yielding food and habitat for wildlife, and giving hikers the added benefits of revealed views and wider trails, some of which have been obscured for years by tall stands of broom. The MCL -administered program began in 2004 with a generous grant from Scott Jones and the Jones -Smith Family Foundation, and their subsequent annual donations have been critical to the project's success. Working on Gold Hill and eastern San Pedro Ridge, the family's generosity in 2008 enabled us to monitor areas worked in previous years, to perform follow up work where needed, and to extend removal efforts into new sections. Douglas contractors. The work is being carried out under the direction of MCL member Cheryl Douglas, landscape architect and specialist in the management of invasive plant species. In September, MCL member Dick Sadler worked with United Markets to produce a full-page display on the program in the Marin IJ, using the photo below. The challenge of any program to control broom is the unending dedication required. The flowers from one plant can produce hundreds of seeds, and the seed bank lasts decades. On-going donations are key. With more funding, we would like to expand our efforts into other areas in Marin. Continuation of this program beyond the upcoming season can be a secured by donating to "MCL Invasive Species Removal Fund," c/o Marin Conservation League, 1623A Fifth Ave. San Rafael, CA 94901. The San Rafael Fire � Department has been an enthusiastic partner in the effort, because of the severe K ;j fire threat existing in the, wildland/urban interface. The current focus of their own WUI program includes lands behind Dominican University and L _ i in neighborhoods where, I I `ti invasive vegetation has r crowded out much of the native flora, and removal is critically important to —' reduce local fire dangers. , Ir SupportfromtheUniversity, along with the Smith -Jones Foundation, and our new donors will enable us to -� Strwrtbirrre continue fieldwork by the LaRafaelristopher Gray, San Cheryl Landscape Architect andV Vegetation Management Marin Conservation Corps Nona Dennis, President of Marin Conservation League; Scott (now Conservation Corps Jones, President, General Steamship Agencies and Founder of North Bay) and other Invasive Species Removal Fund; Dick Sadler, Fund Solicitor CELEBRATING 74 YEARS OF CONSERVATION ACTION f ffiCDT :\ 1 ?/0� The San Rafael Fire Deparment Is grateful for United Markets' support to help prevent the spread of wildfires In our community. Some of us are third generation customers of United Markets, and we appreciate their locally - based stores and their community mindedness. The SFFD is concentrating their efforts on vegetation removal in open space adjacent to residences and along fire roads. Their newest Fire Engine has additional capability to help protect residents from the signiflcant fire threat we face In San Rafael. There is an ongoing battle in Marin's open space, as dedicated organizations and individuals work against the rapid spread of French Broom. This non-native plant invades with ferocious vigor, smothering native vegetation and contributing little food and poor habitat for native wildlife. Broom is highly flammable — a threat In the open space, and to all nearby homes. Grants from the San Rafael -based )ones Smith Family Foundation have been Instrumental in removing French Broom in San Rafael wlldiands. However, one donor cannot sustain this effort alone. Many hillsides need attention, and we need additional support. Donations are fully tax deductible.
