Environmental Stewardship

Managing Broom & Invasive Species

Presentation and resources

Coast Ridge Community Forest invited Jason Mills of Ecological Solutions to PPI Black Mountain Retreat Center in February to give a demonstration and talk on how to manage invasive species such as — especially in this area! — French broom.

Melissa Bushner of Coast Ridge Community Forest posted the following video of Jason speaking on the same topic for a Fire Safe Sonoma broadcast in 2024: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jINVpwdBft4

Here is Jason’s calendar for invasive species and their management.

And the famous weed wrench called the Extractigator — that we know and love at PPI! — available from www.extractigator.com

Thanks as always to Melissa, Judy and all at Coast Ridge Community Forest for organizing these incredibly helpful workshops!
