❑ Mowing — If mowing is your primary weed control method, raise the mower cutting height from last year and set at 6 to 12 inches. Remember to mow before weeds begin to set seed. ❑ Water — During drought periods provide plants one inch of water per week. ❑ Supplemental planting— Plant replacement plants in spots with low survival. Third Year Activities & Beyond: ❑ Dead Vegetation — Cut back or rake dead vegetation if desired in the spring. Leave dead vegetation standing in the fall. ❑ Weeding — Check for weeds once a month. Pull or spot treat weeds with herbicide as necessary. ❑ Supplemental planting — Plant replacement plants as necessary, continuous native vegetation cover is the goal. ❑ Expansion — Consider expanding the project into new areas of your shoreline. ❑ Prescribed Burn — Prescribed burning is a tool for weed control, increased flowering, seed production, germination of new native plants, and reducing undesired woody vegetation. Prescribed burns are typically conducted on a 3 or 4-year rotation. A burl permit is required before conducting a prescribed burn. ❑ Monitoring— The project site should be monitored yearly. Monitoring should include notes on successful species, weed problems, disturbances issues (animal or human), and management needs. It is recommended you monitor one hour each month throughout the growing season and include written notes with photos of the project's progress.
