* Although Russian olive, Kentucky bluegrass and Smooth brome are non-native invasive species, they are often indicative of riparian areas. Russian olive is a state listed noxious weed, which means that it must be controlled anywhere it occurs. Therefore, when a riparian management plan is required, plans should address the removal of Russian olive and replacement with native riparian species.
