The Crest Canyon lnvasive Plant Control Project would control the highly invasive exotic purple veldt grass (Ehrharta calycina) in the Crest Canyon Preserve in Del Mar Heights. The project would conduct thorough and systematic herbicide treatment of purple veldt grass and any other encountered invasive plant species in an attempt to significantly reduce the spread of veldt grass in the Crest Canyon Preserve.

Goal: The overarching goals for addressing invasive plant species in the MSPA are to: (1) Protect Conserved Lands from new or expanding invasive plant species; (2) Detect new invasive species and new invasions early on and control them before the plants have a chance to establish; (3) Address invasive species using the response appropriate for the level of invasiveness (level 1 through 5) as defined in the Invasive Plant Strategic Plan (IPSP)
Management units: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11
From 2017-2021, continue implementing the IPSP by removing Levels 1, 2, and 3 invasive plant species before their distribution becomes too abundant to control.
