​NEIGHBOR SPRINGS EXCLOSURE FENCE

A Brief History  (May 5th, 2022)
  
     Neighbor Spring is in a side drainage of Parker Canyon in Santa Cruz County. The spring is about 1½-miles south of Parker Canyon Lake in rolling hills of oak, juniper, and grassland.
     Perched just out of the riparian bottom, the site consists of wet, saturated ground and small pockets of surface water. Water seeps into the drainage bottom below as well.
     On October 7th of 2006, a 4-strand, 75-plus foot by 75-plus foot fence was erected around the wet area to exclude livestock. Via a collection barrel and pipeline inside the fenced area, a portion of the spring fills a nearby, now exterior livestock trough.
Neighbor Spring is an important source of water and food, especially spring forbs and insects, for nesting Turkeys and their poults.           Other species of wildlife rely on the water from the spring as well.
     The exclosure fence has been monitored since 2006, usually during the annual Gould’s Turkey survey. Fence condition, vegetative cover changes inside (particularly the extent of bull rushes) and the amount of available surface water will continue to be part of that monitoring.
     Several pictures are included of the Neighbor Spring development with the capture date shown in the file name.
