The same is true in the Santa Cruz Mountains where I live. Meadows are among the most threatened habitats around here, most often due to weeds.
Actually, I'm now in from the house from a weed walk in order to do some research before settling on a weed control method for a patch of ridgeline meadow.
What kind of weed control methods do you use?
Our invasives seem to be becoming resistent to our normal cut and drip techniques.
