I’ve been reading about a very rare plant found at just a few places in the hills above Montara. According to the Wikipedia article, the populations have nearly been wiped out in the last few years because non-native invasive plants have overgrown their territory.

Interestingly, I haven’t seen any articles about this in the local press. It seems to me that the loss of this plant should be a major concern for the community.

Does anyone know of any conservation efforts to preserve and restore the habitat?

It might be possible to get some volunteers together to pull weeds if that would help. Maybe there are other ways to help.
