Appropriate treatments should be developed that will identify an active ingredient(s), as well as season, dose, application type, frequency, etc. that will protect A. pallida from P. cinnamomi. Phosphite, or other fungicide(s) with similar or greater efficacy and relatively benign non-target environmental effects, should be prioritized for testing. | Ongoing Current | FY 2017 | Private Companies, University | Research: Disease | Contract | Funding will occur in year 1, but the study will take 3 years to complete. | ||||||||||||

The City of Oakland, EBRPD, EBMUD, and other agencies responsible for conducting management activities that may spread P. cinnamomi to A. pallida should adopt and implement best management practices that have been shown to minimize and avoid the spread of P. cinnamomi when working within watersheds with A. pallida stands. Best management practices include, at a minimum, vehicle, equipment, and personnel hygiene protocols; procedures for conducting activities in infected areas; and timing restrictions that avoid working when soils are moist and the likelihood of spreading P. cinnamomi is greatest. | Not Started | East Bay Regional Park District, City of Oakland, California, East Bay Municipal Utility District | Management: Disease Control | Labor type not yet selected | ||||||||||||||

This plan would determine if seasonal closures, realignments, or enhancements of unpaved roads and trails within watersheds with A. pallida stands are necessary to minimize the spread of P. cinnamomi. Unpaved roads and trails occurring upslope of any A. pallida stands would be prioritized for realignment, seasonal closure, or enhancements that result in drier surface conditions. In addition, the feasibility of implementing soil hygiene stations at trailheads should be examined. | Not Started | East Bay Regional Park District, City of Oakland, California, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, East Bay Municipal Utility District | Management: Planning | Internal Technical Assistance | ||||||||||||||

Once a spread avoidance plan for roads and trails has been developed, it should be fully implemented. In the interim, a priority action to avoid the spread of P. cinnamomi is the closure of Manzanita Loop Trail and rerouting the Heavenly Ridge Trail and Manzanita Trail so that these trails no longer traverse through the Sobrante Ridge A. pallida population, the largest uninfected stand and population of A. pallida. | Not Started | East Bay Regional Park District, City of Oakland, California, East Bay Municipal Utility District | Management: Disease Control | Contract, Internal Technical Assistance | Cost will depend on findings of study in 2.2.1. | |||||||||||||

Although fire stimulation is the natural mechanism by which seed germination in A. pallida typically occurs, it has been shown that seeds can germinate in the absence of fire cues by scarifying seed coats through soil disturbance. Since fire can result in considerable seed mortality, with seed mortality greatest near the soil surface, the germination of seeds near the soil surface through seed coat scarification would reserve deeply buried seeds for unplanned wildfire events. In addition, germination via seed coat scarification would reduce the need to consider prescribed burns near residential areas, where implementing such a practice might prove challenging for land managers. However, more research is needed to demonstrate if regeneration though seed coat scarification is capable of producing enough recruitment to sustain or increase the number of individuals within a stand. | Not Started | East Bay Regional Park District, City of Oakland, California, Private Companies, University, East Bay Municipal Utility District | Research: Propagation | Contract, Internal Field Assistance | Funding will occur in year 1, but the study will take 3 years to complete. | |||||||||||||

Conduct vegetation management activities and seed regeneration techniques at stands where declines in the number of mature plants have occurred or seed production is low. Sites that are no longer occupied by A. pallida plants or have suffered severe declines and produce little seed, but contain a viable seed bank and are not known to be infected by P. cinnamomi (i.e., Manzanita Flat, Chabot, Park Hill Road, and Sibley Volcanic Preserve), should be prioritized for restoration. Restoration of these stands will help insure that any genetic diversity unique to the site will not be lost. | Not Started | East Bay Regional Park District, City of Oakland, California, Volunteers, East Bay Municipal Utility District | Management: Propagation, Management: Habitat Maintenance and Manipulation, Management: Predator and Competitor Control | Volunteer, Contract, Internal Field Assistance | ||||||||||||||

Management plans should include activities that will provide for the perpetual control of competing native and non-native vegetation; stand regeneration, through appropriate use of either fire or mechanical disturbance; compatible fuels management; maintenance of genetic integrity and diversity, the removal of hybrids of A. pallida and non-locally endemic Arctostaphylos species, and long-term monitoring, for all A. pallida stands. | Not Started | East Bay Regional Park District, City of Oakland, California, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, East Bay Municipal Utility District | Management: Habitat Maintenance and Manipulation, Management: Predator and Competitor Control, Management: Other, Research: Genetics, Management: Population Monitoring | Contract, Internal Technical Assistance, Internal Field Assistance | Develop plan in year 1, implement plan in perpetuity. | |||||||||||||

Public outreach and education on the environmental effects of P. cinnamomi and how to minimize and avoid spreading the disease as a result of recreational activities should focus efforts at trailheads. Such a program would include signage and pamphlets describing environmental consequences of spreading P. cinnamomi, conditions that facilitate disease spread, susceptible host plants, and measures individuals can take to minimize spread while recreating. | Not Started | East Bay Regional Park District, City of Oakland, California, East Bay Municipal Utility District | Other: Information and Education | Internal Technical Assistance, Internal Field Assistance | Develop plan in year 1, implement plan in perpetuity. |
