The Pipevine June 2014 Executive Board Meeting SUMMER BREAK Until August 20, 2014 TBA President’s Message by Catie Bishop, President S ummer is coming fast. This will be your last Pipevine before the summer break. I hope all of you have plans to get out in nature as much as possible. Even though I’m way past high school, I still feel like summer is a time for travel and fun. Getting out is also good at reminding us that we have a place in the natural world. It turns our focus outwards, and helps us throw off the cares of the everyday. It is a good time to share nature with children as well. There are many wonderful things to explore together. To that end, make sure you check out the FIELD TRIPS coming up. They often offer an introduction to a new place to explore, as well as new plants to learn about. And while you’re at it, please take some pictures for our September General Meeting where we all share photos from our summer adventures. Another outing that is available to all members, although most don’t take advantage of it, is the June ANNUAL PICNIC. It’s al- ways fun to taste the simple to elaborate dishes shared by all. It’s a good time to socialize with some of the Board Members and each other. If you have questions about what it’s like to serve on the Board, or just questions about CNPS in general, this is a casual setting for it. Wherever you decide to go, make sure you include some wild places, and enjoy our native plants in their own space. Happy trails and see you in September (and at the June picnic). Lupinus dalesiae, Quincy Lupine, California Rare Plant Rank IB, Round Valley Basin at head of Dixie Canyon by Gerry Ingco Legislative Notes by David Anderson BILLS SUPPORTED OR OPPOSED BY CNPS F ebruary 21 was the last day for new bills to be introduced for the 2014 session of the California Legislature. More than 1,900 bills were introduced, giving CNPS a huge task in determining which ones are of concern. May 30 will be the last day for these new bills to pass in the house of their origin. As of April 24 the CNPS Legislative Report gives 21 of these new bills a “Watch” status, 6 a “Support” status and 4 an “Oppose” status. These positions may change as bills are amended. CNPS SUPPORTS AB 203, AB 976, AB 21 04, AB 21 93, AB 2402 and SB 1 270. AB 203 and 976 provide for strengthening of the administration and enforcement of the California Coastal Act of 1976. AB 21 04 precludes groups such as home owners associations from adopting landscaping guidelines prohibiting use of low water- using plants or restricting other water conservation measures. AB 21 93 provides for funding of a new Habitat and Restoration Act to be administered by the Department of Fish & Wildlife. AB 2402 expands the permissible uses of funds by the Depart- ment of Food and Agriculture for noxious weed management. SB 1270 makes changes in the structure and administration of the agencies under the Department of Conservation, including the State Mining and Geology Board, the California Geological Survey and the Office of Mine Reclamation. CNPS OPPOSES AB 1849, AB 2353, AB 2417 and SB 834. AB 1 849 exempts repair or replacement of existing levees from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). AB 2353 exempts from the requirements of CEQA projects to expand the capacity of water storage facilities owned by public entities. AB 2417 exempts from CEQA requirements specified types of pipelines. AB 834 creates a Sustainable Environmental Protection Act. which would limit the CEQA review of projects to specified envi- ronmental topic areas. The full text of bills and the Legislative Analyst’s summary are available on the California Legislature website. The Pipevine June 2014 3. MLC VOLUNTEER EVENTS Outreach Helpers Thanked by Janna Lathrop, Events Chair I want to acknowledge the following chapter members who staffed our information and display tables at one or more events that the Mount Lassen Chapter participated in this spring; the Gateway Museum Garden Day on April 5, EarthDay events at Butte College and Thursday Night Market, Celebrate the Jew- ell at Chico Creek Nature Center on April 26 and the Endan- gered Species Fair on May 3. Ann Elliott, Janna Lathrop at Chico Creek Nature Center, April 26, 2014 GRANT AWARD FOR MLC by Susan Mason, Invasive Plants Chair THANK YOU WOODY ELLIOTT, ANN ELLIOTT, KARROLYN YELLS, CAT IE BISHOP, JIM BISHOP, LETHA ALBRIGHT, SUELLEN ROWLISON, PAUL MOORE, JOHN MEEHAN and NATHAN LATHROP for your help representing our chapter at these community events. D uring the last two years, the Mount Lassen Chapter CNPS (MLC) has initiated and carried out several projects re- moving large invasive trees from local public lands, with about 1 ,100 hours of volunteer labor. These projects include privet ( Li - gustrum sp.) and olive (O/ea europa) removal at Teichert Ponds and similar work along Little Chico Creek. Because of the fire hazard, this tree debris must be removed from the sites. So far, we’ve rented nine large roller bins, with a total capacity of 300 yards. The debris is loaded and then hauled to the city’s com- posting facility. Private donations paid for eight of the bins and MLC paid for one, at a total cost of about $1 500. Finding funding for these bins has been a major barrier to our ability to propose and execute major invasive plant removal projects. We are pleased that the MLC was recently awarded a $4000 grant from Waste Management Keep American Beautiful to help pay for future bins. With this grant, we’ll be able to continue our invasive tree removal work and also work with the City of Chico and CA Dept of Water Resources to begin removal of the highly flammable giant reed {Arundo donax) that clogs the Little Chico Creek riparian area.

ENCROACHMENT ^ Rex Burress A long Highway 113 as you approach the Sutter Bypass, there is a row of elm trees that have been severely pruned to avoid the power-lines. One tree looks like a great “V” or a developing valentine about to embrace the lines like some ornate plant sculpture. The road designers did not take into consideration the encroach- ment growing elms would cause, and road crews are evidently reluctant to remove the gallant trees in the nearly treeless valley farmland. Similar encroachment problems occur on landscaped properties, especially in cities where there is a profusion of overhead lines. People eager to plant a tree often make a bad choice of a spe- cies that will grow beyond expectations. Tree trimmers are kept busy keeping rampant flora under control. Even the roots of some species will damage sidewalks or infiltrate drainage systems. When Jim Carpenter was tree supervisor for Oroville, he would say, “Everyone wants to plant, but nobody wants to maintain.” Even though the city is a “Tree City U.S.A.,” you will notice a prominence of small street trees such as Crape Myrtle, planted with the idea of producing fewer problems. Chico has good deep soil and an array of magnificent oaks and sycamores, especially in Bidwell Park, but there is also an abundance of aged and falling tree limbs. It is a difficult choice for tree lovers to make as to limitation of encroachment [pruning] or termination of a tree. They become such icons in a community that there is always a protest when a tree removal is announced. Encroachment of plants in a forest is not a public problem, as growth and decay are natural processes. John Muir recognized that fact when he said “The woods are full of dead and dying trees, yet needed for their beauty to complete the beauty of the living.” Nature is very productive and tries to fill every empty space with some sort of life. There is an annual surge of growth along trails and soon there is overgrowth, a condition I remember especially apparent along paths in Oakland hill parks. Foggy summers and rainy winters make things want to grow in the Bay Area! There was/is a continual need for trail pruning, but it causes a disarray of ecological order, and a grievance when a rare plant is cut by uninformed laborers. Nature heals the scars of earth even if slow and unsettling. The encroachment concept also applies to invasive plants, es- pecially introduced species that spread quickly, hog the habitat, and overcome native flora by sopping up the surface water and crowding the residents. Wild oats that cover vast areas of “golden” California is a good example of a European species running ram- pant and replacing native bunch grasses. There is a multitude of introduced grass species in the western landscapes that encroach upon fields and multiply excessively, becoming a problem for ranchers with grazing livestock. Cheat, an alien Bromus in the Poaceae grass family, has dominated many fields. Various grasses are the ‘Kings of Encroachment’ of plants. Over 6,000 species filter around the world, producing abundant seeds that are easily and cleverly distributed far and wide. The California Native Plant Society wages a constant battle to reduce or eliminate invasive encroachments of starthistle, Scotch broom, Himalayan blackberry, and dozens of other threats to na- tive species. Some plants are so persistent that they have to be considered “naturalized” and part of the vegetative pattern. Some types make a handsome addition to local flora, and if they can make it on their own they sometimes have to be accepted. The European everlasting pea-vine that winds its way along the river banks, displays a lovely blossom and edible pea-pods, but in its ecstasy to elevate, it climbs into shrubs and snuffs out the victim’s sunshine cutting off chlorophyll production. Such a situation developed at Oroville’s Centennial Gardens along the river levee in 2014. Around Oakland Camp near Quincy, foreign plant intrusion has been at a minimum for the mountain woodland, but who could imagine that the lovely ox-eye daisy that creates a harmless, handsome addition to the local wildflowers, is of Asian origin? To the Ox-eye; “Welcome Stranger!” Through the growing organism’s power of assimilation there is a constant encroachment of the organic upon the inorganic, a constant attempt to connect all available material into living substance, and to indefinitely multiply the total number of organisms. - Harris Hawthorne Wilder 8 . The Pipevine June 2014 BEC HOSTS DIY WATER CONSERVATION WORKSHOPS B utte Environmental Council is hosting two water conservation workshops focused on converting lawns to native landscapes and installing greywater systems.
