Buffelgrass, an invasive weed to the region, poses a serious, long-term threat to the desert's natural ecology.
Dennis Dickerson, PAG’s Environmental Planning coordinator, recently organized an event to mobilize volunteers to remove as much buffelgrass as possible on a single day (Buffelgrass Eradication Day). More than 4,000 plants were removed and over 200 volunteers participated on March 1, 2008. Dickerson is a member of the buffelgrass core team, an informal gathering of individuals representing various agencies and organizations working to develop a strategic plan to confront buffelgrass.
Please contact PAG at (520) 792-1093 if you are interested in seeing a PowerPoint presentation on the challenge that buffelgrass poses to the region's desert environment.
