War on saltcedars advances along Pecos River in West Texas
Observers gathered under a bridge near the Reeves Loving county line to review saltcedar eradication efforts along the Pecos. Texas A&M and Texas Department of Agriculture officials noted years of spraying since 1999, with $1 million allotted and over $200,000 spent already. Each tree can consume 200 gallons of water daily, while leaves drain salt into the river, harming ecosystems and ranchers along the waterway.
