Welcome

The Sahara Mustard Weed Eradication Task Force was formed in 2010 to bring together agencies, organizations and private citizens interested in eradicating Sahara mustard in the Borrego Springs area, including the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, and other surrounding private and public land.

Mission Statement:

To increase public awareness and involvement in controlling Saharan Mustard in the Anza-Borrego area in recognition of its detrimental effects on natural ecosystems and on the economy of Borrego Springs.

The Sahara Mustard Weed Eradication Task Force meets at the Borrego Springs Chamber of Commerce office, 786 Palm Canyon Drive, at 1:00 PM on the second Wednesday of the month during the Sahara mustard growing season (October thru April). The public is welcome to attend.

Because of the minimal amount of Sahara mustard growing in the Borrego Springs area this season, due to the drought, all Task Force meetings have been cancelled until the fall season begins in October 2012.
