Document Description
The project consists of the removal of hazardous fencing, an upland tree/shrub planting, the installation of wildlife structures, and noxious weed abatement. The planting will consist of native upland trees and shrubs, irrigated by above-ground pipe, and protected from browsing by wire fencing. Wildlife structures will include raptor perches, wood duck boxes, songbird boxes, barn owl boxes, and bat boxes. These structures will be situated in locations that will enhance foraging and nesting opportunities for the target species. Noxious weed abatement will consist of the manual removal of dyers woad and starthistle from a specified area.
The overall goal of the project is to enhance habitat in a corridor that links the Scott River, the valley floor, and the uplands to the east.
