267 in 2018, and 47 in 2019. The 2020 census at Arana Gulch found only a single wild plant growing in Area A, even though there were several growing earlier in spring that the cattle ate, plus five planted seedlings had survived over in Area C. The amount of native and weed cover of each "Area" was surveyed in October 2020, as follows: AREA A = 72% weed grasses, 4% broadleaf weeds, 3% native grasses—Danthonia, and 4% wildflowers—poppies, and the remainder bare dirt. AREA B (never grazed) = 44% weed grasses, 41% native grasses—Bromus, 3% broadleaf weeds and the remainder bare dirt. AREA C = 72% weed grasses, 3% native grasses—Bromus, and 25% bare soil. AREA D (not grazed in 2020) = 97% weed grasses and 3% native grasses—Bromus. As a comparison to the decades of work being done at Arana Gulch, only five miles south at 300 Byers Lane in La Selva Beach on 70 acres of private property—the same area and habitat as the Arana Gulch property—the native grassland habitat at Byers Lane, started as 99% weed-covered, and was restored back to 95% native cover in only ten years. The Arana Gulch restoration methods tried so far, are burning, grazing annually with cattle, and scraping. Three of the four former plant population "Areas" are surrounded by permanent barbed wire cattle fencing The "Tarplant Hill" population in Watsonville (part of the Unit I populations) has experienced an almost identical drop in the plant numbers in that population. The plant count in 1984, estimated 10,000 plants, 1985 100,000 plants, 1986 20,000 plants, 1989 400,000 plants, and in 1990, 38,000 plants were estimated. Then in 1993, 1994, and 2003 only a single plant was found for that whole "Tarplant Hill" population. Then, counts in 2004, found 8 plants, 2005 60 plants, 2008 two plants, 2007 70 plants, 2008 59 plants, and the 2009 count found 189 plants. The Twin Lakes population, which is part of Unit D is on State Park property, and the naturally-occurring plant numbers were 16 in 1999, 7 in 2000, 19 in 2001, 7 in 2002 and only 5 plants in 2003. East Bay population review A 2020 review of the East Bay populations, outlined the history and current status of the tarplants in that area. In the 1980s, the land where the wild population was growing, was the site of a future shopping mall. A project
