County Parks is planning two pilot vegetation management projects at the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve:

1) San Vicente Creek habitat enhancement to remove exotic invasive plants and replant native vegetation, and

2) Cypress grove management to improve public safety. 

Both projects are envisioned as being completed before December 2014.  The purpose of this meeting is to inform the community about the project goals and timeline, and listen to input before the permit approval process is initiated.
