Within degraded oak stand sites where invasive species have replaced oak woodland species, there is an opportunity to restore stands within the reservation to create a net increase to the oak habitat within the reservation. This would entail work to restore numerous oak woodland species such as forbes, grasses and shrubs to restore the broader plant community. The recommendation for this approach might start with small patches where staff can apply dispersal (seeding), environmental (burning/mowing) and biotic filters (weeding and other biotic controls) to remove or control invasive species in restoration areas and allow plants to establish. This approach to restoration could expand and reclaim Manzanita’s oak woodland habitats and would also reflect a strategy for production of acorn and other cultural significant plant materials.
