From 2008-2014, #SAWPA funded the Invasive Species Removal and Habitat Restoration Project conducted by the Santa Ana Watershed Association (SAWA). The Final Reporting on this project found an important increase in territories held of the endangered species, Least Bell’s Vireo. The Least Bell’s Vireo was added to the State’s #endangered species list in 1980 due to extensive habitat loss and degradation associated with exotic plant invasion, among other factors. As part of our mission, SAWPA may conduct or support studies like this in the #watershed to better understand the region's ecology and identify potential conservation and restoration efforts.
