Document Description
The goal of this project is to restore the oak woodland habitat that historically would have been on this property. This project will plant native shrubs, forbs, grasses, and trees in two upland areas on the property. The establishment of native vegetation will add species and structural diversity 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 fences 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 seeding native grasses. In addition to native plant establishment, other project activities will include installing bird nest boxes, building habitat brush piles, leading educational
programs, and conducting plant establishment monitoring, pollinator, and photo monitoring of the habitat restoration site. Total project area is 10.61 acres. (WCB Project Tracker ID: 2022065).
