The Yerba Buena Chapter encompasses San Francisco and northern San Mateo Counties and is named for the tiny fragrant mint Satureja douglasii found in this area.

This brome is a great candidate for weeding since it is easily identified and easy to pull- THERE"S JUST SO DARN MUCH OF IT that it takes a lot of hands to get rid of it! We need a big crew to help kick this noxious weed in the pants before it can drop its seed.
