    Yellow Starthistle: Managing an Invasive Alien Species - VHS Video

    With support from Contra Costa RCD, Leif Joslyn of Xenobiota Xposures completed an instructional video on yellow starthistle control methods. CCRCD is pleased to have had a role in creating this new production. Funding for the video was provided by an EQIP Educational grant from NRCS as well as donations from California Department of Food and Agriculture, California Department of Parks and Recreation, Dow Elanco, and the California Native Plant Society.

    There are two versions of the video. The 26-minute version of the video covers yellow starthistle's history, biology, and several control methods, and is suitable for a general audience. For those who want more information, the 50-minute version has additional interviews with California's leading experts on yellow starthistle and delves into the broader issue of the threat of invasive species to California's biodiversity.

    The video and can be viewed at the offices of Contra Costa RCD, borrowed for presentation to groups, or purchased from Leif Joslyn. To purchase the video, call Mr. Joslyn at (510) 524-3031. For more information about his other videos, visit Xenobiota Xposure's website.
