When out hiking one fine day, I noticed this plant - and many more like it - on the Bear Canyon trail. It looked like an invasive we had pulled previously. After consulting with Joan Tedford, Debbie Bird, and the Forest Service, we set a date to remove Pentzia incana, an invasive from Africa, from several places in the recreation area.

As luck would have it, it rained a bit in the early, early morning of April 9th, and it remained cool, making it easier for the team of Debbie and Jerry Bird, Fred Heath, and Anne Green to get the job done!

If only all invasive plants were so easily dealt with! We removed 5 industrial-sized bags of Pentzia. Thanks to Debbie and Jerry for the use of their vehicle and tools, Fred for his time and expertise, and the Forest Service for more tools and bags.
