Watershed Restoration
Invasive Species Management
This project involved invasive species removal at sites administered by the Trinity River Restoration Program (TRRP). In 2014 the TCRCD recommended continued treatment of dyer’s woad at the Upper and Lower Junction City sites and treatment of the dyer’s woad population along Sky Ranch road. The Sky Ranch road population is directly upstream of the Upper and Lower Junction City sites and has the potential to spread onto current and future TRRP projects sites. Over five years, the dyer's woad population decreased from an area encompassing over 35 acres to just 40 plants total.
