PROJECT GOAL <br />The goal of this program is to improve the living environment of the urban area through increasing <br />wildlife habitat, protecting surface and groundwater quality, and increasing storm -water runoff <br />infiltration. <br />VEGETATION ZONES <br />In the buffer zone three major overlapping vegetation zones exist; these are the: <br />• aquatic zone, which includes submergent, floating leaf and emergent vegetation <br />• wet meadow zone (transition zone), which includes wildflowers, grasses, sedges, and <br />shrubs that grow in moist soil <br />• upland -which can be further sub - divided into: <br />- upland —moist zone, which includes wildflowers, grasses, sedges, shrubs and <br />trees that grow in rich, fertile, and moist (but not saturated) soils. <br />- upland -dry zone, which includes wildflowers, grasses, sedges; shrubs and trees <br />that grow in dry and well drained soils. <br />The planting list recommended for this project appears on the next page. Only native plant <br />species should be planted in the buffer zone within 25 feet of the waters edge. The plant <br />species selected are all found in the Ramsey County area and are well adapted to grow in the <br />conditions present at the site. <br />Lakeshore Vegetation Zones (Typical) <br />(DNR Graphic) <br />
