The look and accessibility of our beautiful Estero Bluffs is being transformed from a coastal prairie to
an area overgrown by Baccharis, aka, Coyote Brush. CLC needs your help. The conservation easement
held by CLC mandates that the Bluffs be maintained as coastal prairie so CLC and State Parks have
developed a plan to deal with the encroachment of this wily brush.
The plan has two parts. First, CLC is hiring the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) to remove
most of the Coyote Brush south of San Geronimo Creek. The removed brush will be used to help
control erosion in a rapidly developing gully south of the Creek. Second, State Parks will use prescribed
periodic burns to manage the encroaching Baccharis and other invasive species while at the same time
encouraging growth of native plants.
The Conservancy needs your help to fund removal of the brush.The removal and erosion control
work will cost between $3200 and $4800 —depending on how many days it takes.
