New Year, New Tasks

I finally got out to the preserve this morning. I hadn't been out for awhile because of other obligations and weather. Today I concentrated on cleaning up some spotty trash along parts of the fire lanes.
There has been an invasion of sandspurs and  Ceasar weed along the fire lanes, which makes them troublesome to traverse.

Natal grass continues to be prominent in the landscape in the north tract since the the mechanical clearing, followed by fire. I've confined my efforts to managing Natal grass to the north-south tract and around the lupine beds.
This month will be a time to look for new lupine seedlings.
