Ventura marsh milk-vetch has been seen only twice in the last century and was thought to be extinct until it was rediscovered in 1997 by a federal biologist at an oil waste dump site. Fish and Wildlife discovered the marsh milk-vetch plant on a former Oxnard oil sludge dump where developers are planning a housing project. The bank area also protects habitat for Heckard's Peppergrass, Alkali Milk-Vetch, Brittlescale and Carquinez Goldenbush. |
