SUMMARY: Project 467: Enhancing Native Plant Diversity and the “Coefficient of Beauty” at Edgewood Natural Preserve
LOCATION:Zoom and YouTube
DESCRIPTION:<div class="page" title="Page 2"><div class="layoutArea"><div class="column
 "><p>Edgewood Natural Preserve near Redwood City is famous for its flower-f
 illed serpentine grasslands. But the 467 acres of Edgewood support great bi
 odiversity in the chaparral, oak woodlands, and grasslands on more fertile 
 soils. The 100+ acres of fertile grasslands are by far the most weed-invade
 d habitat, and have been the focus of successful control of “macroweeds.”</
 p><p>Friends of Edgewood and Creekside Science are pursuing the goal of dec
 reasing “microweeds” and increasing native cover and diversity. A Rapid Ass
 essment Plot (RAP) inventory with over 80 plots documented more than 90 nat
 ive species in the fertile grasslands, albeit often at low cover. We are in
 vestigating treatments to reduce annual weed seedlings just after germinati
 on, including hydromechanical pulverization (HMP, basically pressure- washi
 ng the grassland) and close-mowing with string cutters. Once the flush of n
 on-native annuals is cleared, extant native perennials can vegetatively exp
 and and occupy space in a newly created clean seedbed.</p><div class="page"
  title="Page 2"><div class="layoutArea"><div class="column"><p>Besides comm
 ercially available local seeds, we are using more than 15 species of “bouti
 que” seeds grown at Edgewood Farms and the Native Garden. We are trying to 
 develop a long-term “indigenous” approach to restoration, whereby a beautif
 ul, colorful diversity of native plants is&nbsp;established and can spread 
 naturally given occasional&nbsp;management.&nbsp;</p><div class="page" titl
 e="Page 2"><div class="layoutArea"><div class="column"><p><strong>About our
  New Native Plant Lecture Series</strong></p><p>The CNPS SCV Native Plant L
 ecture Series has something for everyone ̶ whether you’re curious about nat
 ive plants, an experienced or aspiring native plant gardener or a professio
 nal botanist, you will find something to interest and educate you in our of
 ferings.</p><p>Our General Meeting Program presentations, Gardening with Na
 tives (GWN) talks, and Going Native Garden Tour (GNGT) Live Sessions, will 
 all be part of this series. From gardening to plant science to conservation
  to tours of botanical hot spots, if you’re interested in California’s nati
 ve plants, there’s something here for you.</p><p>Most of our lectures are i
 n the evening, although we occasionally schedule them during the day. Our t
 alks are live presentations followed by Q&amp;As with the viewing audience.
  They are live streamed simultaneously to Zoom and YouTube. They are all re
 corded on YouTube, so you can see them later on our YouTube channel: <a hre
