FROM : NORTH AMERICAN PRAIRIES CO <br />f\VVLI IIIVM <br />1 PI\Al.. V J <br />PHONE NO. 320.274 5316 Dec. 19 2000 12:55PM P2 <br />application., . Normally, when entering a project with demands like, these; the • <br />.first step is to burn the dead material in the spring before there is new growib <br />that'wif inhibit a clean burn. Since.the project was given to us "afte? this • <br />spring window, the next step was to use chemical to kill and thus create <br />conditions that would enable us to burn early summer. Unfortunately, the <br />site was a little to wet early on to get spray equipment on site and effectively <br />kill the Reed Canary grass. <br />In the meantime while we waited for the dry down of the wetlands we <br />worked on exotic brush control in the.understory of most of the woodland <br />set - asides. This was done in stages to provide the best results. First, the <br />smallest saplings of Buckthorn, Honeysuckle and Prickly Ash were curt off at <br />. about 2 feet to put all on equal height level andmake eventual herbicide • <br />treatment Th <br />t easier. The idea was thatthe saplings would leaf out at the same <br />heigbt.and make herbicide to plat contact most efficient Secondly, in mid <br />summer we proceeded further with brush control by cutting all saplings•of <br />• invasive exotic species noted above, then stump treating each one with • <br />Gallon Herbicide. The•process was methodical and labor intensive but 1 feel <br />very effective in controlling and reducing the existing plants of these : • <br />• undesirable species. However, it most be noted, this does not effect new <br />growth•that may potentially occur from an existing'seed bank. <br />• *When we got back to work on the wetlands we were in late summer and into <br />a drought. This was fortunate in that it allowed us full access to all the now <br />dry wetlands with our spray equipment. It was unfortunate though, because <br />once we sprayed and killed existing the vegetation a burn ban was put on <br />statewide, preventing us from accomplishing this very important step in.the <br />restoration process. <br />So we waited. Unfortunately time ran out on us this fall to bum and thus . <br />properly prepare the site for an effective installation of all the restorative <br />materials.. In many.'ways this works out fine for us and for the ultimate <br />
