Mims Pond Restoration
Sierra SWCD-Mims Pond-T or C, NM
2021-2022
$60,000.00
After reviewing treatment options, we removed salt cedar mechanically. An excavator and a bulldozer pulled the root crown of each plant, with hand work where needed. The removal of the root crown resulted in high mortality and long-term management of Salt Cedar in the treatment areas. Once we removed all plant material it was stacked in piles to be either burned or masticated. All work was conducted in a manner to mitigate impact to native plant species in the area.
