All work will be completed according to the standards and guidelines in the Department's Trails Handbook. Areas with sensitive cultural resources will be flagged and avoided. The work will either occur outside the nesting bird season or if work needs to occur during nesting season, a qualified environmental scientist will survey area for any potential nest sites and these areas will be flagged and avoided.
