IN RECENT YEARS, THE CITY OF ESCONDIDO HAS BEEN WORKING TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES. LAST YEAR, THE CITY AND CALFIRE BEGAN A PROGRAM TO REDUCE NON-NATIVE PLANTS IN REIDY CREEK, WHICH HAS GREATLY IMPROVED THE AREA. THIS SEPTEMBER, THE CONSERVANCY IS BEGINNING A MULTI-YEAR PROGRAM TO REMOVE HUNDREDS OF NON-NATIVE TREES AND PLANTS THAT ARE CHOKING THE CREEK AND TAKING UP SPACE THAT MIGHT OTHERWISE BE USED BY NATIVE PLANTS AND WILDLIFE. THE CONSERVANCY WILL ALSO BE INVOLVING LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN THE RESTORATION AND PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR LOCAL RESIDENTS TO EXPLORE AND LEARN ABOUT THE CREEK.
