Maryland that was 99% cleared about 5 years ago. It is now only 95% cleared

keeps making this 99.99% claim. I, for one, doubt it. I would like to have that
doubt removed, but that would take more information than I have noticed in his
previous posts or this one. Successes of this magnitude and quality should be
published in a peer-reviewed journal.<BR><BR>WT<BR><BR>----- Original Message

to be<BR>at least 99%<BR><BR><BR>> Dear All,<BR>><BR>> I just visited
Mark Vande Pol's home in the Santa Cruz Mtns., above the<BR>> city of Santa
Cruz, where he has produced by weeding 14 grassland and<BR>> forest
acres that are 99.99% pure native plant cover, single handedly, in<BR>> only
10 years.<BR>><BR>> He view is, if your weeding efforts in native
grassland and forest<BR>> understory areas are not producing 99% native plant
cover, you are wasting<BR>> your time.<BR>><BR>> I am suggesting to all
of our local public agencies within our county,<BR>> that each agency tries
to achieve at least an acre of 99% native cover<BR>> grasslands, within the
next 12 months.<BR>><BR>> In California, native grasslands are where a lot
of our endangered species<BR>> of butterflies are trying to survive and we
need to improve their habitats<BR>> so they can survive and
recover.<BR>><BR>> Sincerely, Craig Dremann, Redwood City, CA
