Mounds View Silver View Park Pond <br />nonnative black locust. However, the canopy removal will enable better establishment of continuous <br />ground layer vegetation for improved water infiltration and slope stabilization along the drainage. Oak <br />trees and other hardwoods can then be planted to fill in the canopy. Cottonwood and red pine are not <br />typically in Pin Oak — Bur Oak Woodland but are currently present and can be maintained as part of the <br />canopy composition. <br />Insert zoomed in map of area, so the reader does not have to flip back to the larger map for reference <br />Vegetation Management Goal <br />• Plant community resembling Pin Oak — Bur Oak Woodland (FDs37b) with improved wildlife <br />habitat, native plant diversity, and water infiltration capacity. <br />Vegetation Management Objectives <br />• Canopy cover is over 50% and dominated by bur oak and white oak, with occasional black <br />cherry, red pine, and cottonwood. Pin oak and northern red oak are avoided for supplemental <br />planting due to their high susceptibility to oak wilt. <br />• All invasive, nonnative trees (primarily black locust) and saplings are removed. Native trees will <br />need to be planted to increase canopy cover after invasive, nonnative trees are removed. <br />• Native shrub cover is about 10-25% and composed of species such as black raspberry, red - <br />berried elder, gooseberry, chokecherry, American hazelnut, and gray dogwood. <br />• Invasive, nonnative shrub cover (common buckthorn, glossy buckthorn, tartarian honeysuckle) is <br />reduced to less than 5%. <br />• Herbaceous ground layer vegetation cover is increased to over 75% and dominated by native <br />grasses, sedges, and forbs, such as those listed in the table below. Invasive, nonnative <br />herbaceous cover is less than 5%. <br />• Nearly continuous ground layer cover is maintained to promote water infiltration and soil <br />stabilization. <br />• Diverse ground layer vegetation is established using native seed mixes and plugs that include <br />species that can provide floral resources for pollinators throughout the growing season. <br />Project Number: 193806465 11 <br />
