Event Summary:
Learn how removal of “naturalized” trees change ecology.

Event Description:
The Elkhorn Slough Reserve is actively engaged in the removal of about 1,200 eucalyptus trees, an invasive species from Australia that were planted through much of coastal California about 100 years ago. This is not without some public opposition, in fact many people consider these trees to be “naturalized” and an integral part of the ecology of California. One grove was left due to its sporadic use by monarch butterflies. The removal of these trees has resulted in an impressive transition to native coast live oak woodlands and landscape views reminiscent of pre-contact conditions.
