Pond edge plan

• Clean-up of invasive species including buckthorn and removing piles of debris will occur to allow for seeding and planting. Some fallen trees will be intentionally left in place to provide habitat.

• A wetland plant mix has been hand seeded all the way around the pond edge. You can expect to see some cover crop soon – an early annual to help stabilize soils while the perennials grow in. The contractor will return several times throughout the growing season to control weeds with herbicide.

• Property corners have been marked with wooden stakes to mark locations for installation of permanent posts with small placards designating the public land as a restoration area. These will mark the property boundary and restoration extent for the contractors.

• Areas that have established turf will not be transitioned to native plants.

• The vegetation on publicly owned property is protected in city code chapter 24, article VII. No person shall pick, cut, or remove trees, shrubs or plants on publicly owned property.
