Document Description
The goal of this project is to increase habitat for birds and pollinators and restore the oak savanna plant community that historically would have been on this property. This project will plant 320 native shrubs, forbs, and trees in two upland areas on the property. The establishment of native vegetation will add diversity to the species and structure of the plants in the area which will increase food and shelter for birds, insects, and mammals that frequent the area. Activities will include planting native plants, adding mulch around plants, installing temporary fences and caging to protect plants while they become established, installing irrigation for native plantings, removing/controlling invasive plant species using manual methods (hand pulling, hand tools), and conducting plant establishment monitoring and photo monitoring of the habitat restoration site. Total project area is 3.95 acres.
