Mounds View Silver View Park Pond <br />Figure 3 1940 Aerial Photo of Silver View Park <br />3.2 Nonnative Woodland Existing Cover Type <br />About 0.8 acre of nonnative woodland cover was mapped along the northwest drainage into the park from <br />Silver Lake Road. This area has steep slopes. The canopy was dominated by black locust, with <br />occasional cottonwood, elm, and a few red pines. Some of the cottonwoods in this area have 24- to 30- <br />inch stems. Buckthorn is common throughout, with occasional honeysuckle and hackberry saplings. <br />Ground cover is sparse to patchy and composed of Virginia creeper and white snakeroot. Garlic mustard <br />is common. This woodland area contains a sensitive drainage feature with steep slopes lacking <br />continuous ground cover for soil erosion control and water infiltration and retention. <br />Pin Oak — Bur Oak Woodland is recommended as a general target plant community composition for this <br />cover type. Restoration will require substantial canopy removal due to existing cover by invasive, <br />Project Number: 193806465 10 <br />
