In July of 2007, a small patch of sesbania was removed from the Caltrans drainage ditch alongside Highway 175 in Hopland. This is the only known population of naturalized Sesbania punicia in Mendocino County.

In August of 2007, a kayak-based survey was conducted of the Russian River from the Highway 175 bridge south to Kaminsky Station. No sesbania was observed.
