YELLOW STAR THISTLE IS A BIG PROBLEM AT AUBURN STATE RECREATION AREA
ARE YOU TIRED OF YOU AND YOUR HORSE GETTING POKED WITH YELLOW STAR THISTLE
(YST)?
Are you tired of pulling thistle out of your horses legs and your socks at the end of
day? We need your help to get something done!
The Bureau of Reclamation is responsible for the ASRA land. They are currently working on a fire prevention plan but it will be a few years before anything is implemented. I’m not sure the fire prevention plan has any provisions for the YST problem.
Currently, they graze goats in large sections of ASRA. This is good but their timing is not beneficial for fire prevention or YST. They graze in winter and early spring. New growth comes in the spring/early summer months and seed head develop/drop in the late spring/summer months.
If the grazing schedule would change, it would greatly improve the quality of everyone’s park experience. Cronin Ranch (BLM) grazes throughout the summer months and the YST has been knocked down tremendously.
We need your help by contacting the Bureau of Reclamation!
