ONE DAY Invasive Genista removal North Coast Ridge Road
Details
TRIP TITLE / DATES / IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS:
Day Trip. Work on the North Coast Ridge road and clear patches of genista that are making their way up the road. There are a couple patches at the 6-mile marker where we will start. A couple larger patches before there, we probably won't get to on this trip. But the ground should be wet and hopefully the pulling will be easy.
