Temporary Trail Closures for Invasive Plant Management
Treatment of oxalis on Pillar Point Bluff will occur sometime between Monday, February 3 and Friday, February 28. The work is expected to take up to three days, as weather and the availability of work crews allows, and will occur on weekdays only. During the work closures will take place along the Jean Lauer Trail, Ross’ Cove Trail, and Frenchman’s Reef Trail.
Treatment goals include the protection of native habitat from the invasive plant, Oxalis pes-caprae, which spreads quickly and outcompetes native plants. This work will involve targeted foliar application of the herbicide imazamox or triclopyr directly to foliage of the plants. The trails will reopen once application process, including drying, is complete.
