Final Report: Florida Canyon Habitat Restoration

Type: report

Article abstract: 3 sites within Florida Canyon, totaling approximately 2 acres, were identified as the project location due to extensive habitat loss, erosion, presence of invasive species, impacts from human presence and encroaching urban development. Ecological restoration of these heavily depleted areas was the primary project goal. The main objectives of the project were to preserve existing native species, control invasive species, re-establish native vegetation and habitat, control erosion, establish a designated trail system, fence sensitive areas to reduce disturbance, and install interpretive signage.
