Client: California Army National Guard
Project: Camp San Luis Obispo and Camp Roberts Invasive Removal
Location: San Luis Obispo, California
Description: Wildscape Restoration performed invasive species control at Camp San Luis Obispo in San Luis Obispo, California. The California Army National Guard is continuing ongoing treatment and control of invasive plant species at Camp San Luis Obispo and Camp Roberts. While the initial contract for work was treatment of many species at both sites, the scope of work was adjusted due to Covid-19 restrictions. Wildscape focused on two target invasive species, tree-of-heaven (Ailanthus altissima) and cape ivy (Delairea odorata).
Wildscape performed project management for the duration of the project. Invasive species removal and treatment was performed, and an Invasive Plant Control Report was prepared. The invasive species removal occurred over five days (June 1, 2020 – June 5, 2020) with a crew of four. The cape ivy site was approximately 6-acres in riparian habitat along Chorro Creek. For four days, the crew worked on hand removing the cape ivy and bagging all biomass. The biomass was disposed of at the nearby landfill, Cold Canyon Landfill. For one day, the crew worked on cut-and-daub treatment of tree-of-heaven. The cut biomass was disposed of offsite. The Invasive Plant Control Report was prepared with photos, maps, and a summary of the work. The client visited the crew on-site throughout the week of treatment.

“I was pleased with their work and saw the trailer loaded with biomass. Thanks for all the hard work.” – Michael Moore, Senior Environmental Scientist.

Project: California Red-Legged Frog Habitat Enfacement for Cam San Luis Obispo
Location: San Luis Obispo, California
Description: This project had two main goals. The first goal was to remove sediment from a historical California Red-Legged Frog (CRLF) breeding pond, also known as "Mucky Pond". Mucky Pond was dredged using heavy equipment. The second goal of this project was to install barbed-wire fencing around various riparian habitat areas to enhance habitat for the CRLF. Barbed-wire fences were installed in various areas along the Army National Guard base. The fences installed are to keep out grazing cattle and therefore, enhance the habitat so the CRLF can become well established throughout Camp San Luis Obispo.
