Management Event

November 19, 2016

Group: Walnut Creek Wild Ones
Location: Walnut Creek Metropolitan Park, Austin, 78753
Event Notes: On a hike to scout out the need for preparations for an upcoming project along Tar Branch, four volunteers girdled 5 Chinese pistache—in part to teach two of them the technique, but also in part to attack individual, widely scattered trees, the largest of which produced seeds for the first time this year. (Two others were not far behind.) Mapped location is of the largest tree girdled; others were much farther upstream. Also girdled one outlying ligustrum.
