Chaco's Tamarix and Cardaria Exotic Management Environmental Assessment is Available for Public Review
Tamarisk (Tamarix chinensis) and globe-pod hoary cress (Cardaria pubescens) are exotic (non-native) species that rapidly and aggressively invade riparian areas and seeps. These invading species are displacing native species, reducing biodiversity, adversely modifying the native ecological integrity, and disrupting the hydrology of the park. The proposed action consists of implementing control measures to eradicate and/or reduce exotic (non-native) plant infestations of tamarisk and globe-pod hoary cress at select locations within the park. The purpose of the Tamarix and Cardaria Exotic Management Environmental Assessment (EA) is to examine the impacts associated with implementing the proposed exotic species control action.
