These tasks are consistent with the Foxborough Restoration and <br />Management Plan, developed by CCES in August 2005. The proposed restoration and <br />management tasks will be implemented during the 2008 growing season, and will rely on <br />available funding within the Foxborough Conservation Fund. <br />The following proposed tasks, timelines, costs, and priorities constitute the planned scope of <br />work for 2008 within Foxborough's conservation outlots. Task 1 (prescribed burn) was <br />previously implemented in April 2007, and is included in this scope of work. <br />2007 Restoration and Management Tasks (Completed): <br />Task 1: Prescribed Burn of Conservation Outlots. <br />A prescribed burn was planned and implemented by Critical Connections Ecological Services <br />in cooperation with Marty Asleson, City of Lino Lakes Natural Resources Specialist. The burn <br />was implemented on April 25, 2007 within approximately 75% of the conservation outlot <br />acreage within the Foxborough conservation development. Accessible wetland and upland <br />habitats were burned successfully. In addition, an adult female Blanding's Turtle was <br />discovered during the prescribed burn, and was re- released after the burn was completed. <br />CCES submitted and invoice for this completed work to the City of Lino Lakes on February 19, <br />2008 in the amount of $4,770. <br />Task 1 Timeline: April 2007 (completed) <br />Task 1 Costs: $4,770 (invoiced February 19, 2008) <br />Phone: 651.433.4410 Fax: 651.433.4528 <br />Email: info @ccesinc.com Web: www.ccesinc.com <br />
