The Big Sur coast has been hit hard by invasive non-native plants. Some of them have grown so out of control they cover entire hillsides. The native chaparral often gets pushed out by them. Invasives thrive in disturbed soils where there have been landslides, fires, and where native vegetation has purposely been cleared in the name of “fire prevention”. Their seed is transported by the wind, and often by humans who think the flowers are pretty. Keep Big Sur Wild would like to work with the public and government to come up with a plan to slow their spread along the coast. We will be making some videos to help educate everyone on what they can do to help. Here is our first video on Jubata Grass.
