Broadcast native seed (if additional seed is utilized) to prescribed seeding areas following prescribed burn (October through November). Year 2 Vegetation Establishment and Management Schedule: Spring: Apply herbicide to re- emerging invasive species populations, including reed canary grass, phragmites, cattail, common and glossy buckthorn, honeysuckle, and amur maple (May and June). Monitor overall vegetation establishment from existing seed bank and areas seeded with native seed mixes the prior fall (June). Summer: Monitor areas that have been allowed to establish with existing seed bank and where seeded areas with native seed mixes took place the prior fall (June through September). In late summer, apply appropriate wetland herbicide to re- emerging invasive woody and herbaceous species, such as reed canary grass, phragmites, cattail, common and glossy buckthorn, honeysuckle, and amur maple. Broadcast and spot treatment of invasive species will likely be necessary (September). Fall: Monitor vegetation establishment during second growing season. Note areas with poor native seed bank viability. Plan seeding of such areas for late fall (September). Order native seed, if necessary (September). Broadcast native seed to prescribed seeding areas prior to snow cover and frost establishment (October through November). Year 3 Vegetation Establishment and Management Schedule: Spring: Spot treat areas of re- emerging invasive species, including reed canary grass, phragmites, cattail, common and glossy buckthorn, honeysuckle, and amur maple (May and June). Monitor overall vegetation establishment from existing seed bank and areas seeded with native seed mixes the prior fall (June).
