 Borrego Springs Volutaria Update

Borrego Springs is renowned for brilliant displays of California wildflowers; but this natural beauty is threatened by an invasive plant, desert knapweed (Volutaria tubuliflora). First found in 2011, desert knapweed has spread and is now found in patches over 25 square miles. Populations in Anza Borrego Desert State Park are being controlled by California State Parks, and the County is working on roadsides. However, Desert knapweed is also located on private property and that is where you come in. To protect Borrego Valley the County needs your permission to work on your property with the goal to suppress, control, and, if possible, eradicate desert knapweed.
In order for AWM to properly address Volutaria, AWM needs a Right of Entry (ROE) to conduct weed management activities on these properties free of cost to the property owner and with the least possible intrusion. This work will take several years to accomplish, since seeds have built up in the soil. The work is dependent on rain and typically occurs between January and April. Feel free to contact AWM with any questions.
 
Information, factsheets, and our Right-of Entry (ROE) form are posted on the AWM website, Integrated Pest Control page (Integrated Pest Control (sandiegocounty.gov)).
