Texas Gulf Region Cooperative Weed Management Area: Controlling the Brazilian Peppertree

Summary

Brazilian peppertree is an invasive, noxious, and prohibited species that negatively impacts property access, coastal prairie habitats, and shorelines. As a member of the Texas Gulf Coast Cooperative Weed Management Area, the Coastal Bend Bays and Estuaries Program will work with project partners to advocate for cooperative control amongst willing landowners and managers to prevent the spread and movement of the Brazilian peppertree. CMP funds will be used to hire a Certified Weed Management Area Coordinator, conduct meetings and community events, and remove Brazilian peppertrees from public land.
