Article abstract: The purpose of this letter is to provide you with a progress report of the Salt Creek Coastal Cactus Wren Habitat Enhancement/Restoration Project. Merkel & Associates (M&A) visited the site on April 18, 2014. Both the 1.0-acre and 0.4-acre areas continue to thrive. Most of the cacti looked healthy and they appeared to have grown since our last quarterly site visit in September. Coastal sagebrush (Artemisia californica) appears to be filling in between cacti at the 0.4-acre site. New seedling growth of San Diego viguiera (Bahiopsis laciniata), flat top buckwheat (Eriogonum fasciculatum var. fasciculatum), and matchweed (Guiterrezia sarothrae) were also noted in this area.
