<br />4 Vegetation Restoration Activities & Cost Estimates
<br />4.1 Activity Types
<br />The goals and objectives outlined above for each cover type can be accomplished by implementing best
<br />management practices for ecological restoration and vegetation management. The following sections
<br />describe the activities anticipated for vegetation restoration and maintenance around the ponds. The
<br />activities are most effective when integrated. For example, invasive plant control should be combined with
<br />seeding/planting to replace the invasive plant cover with desirable vegetation. Additionally, some of the
<br />activities such as invasive shrub control and herbaceous weed control will require multiple treatments
<br />over several years. The cost estimates provided in Section 4.2 anticipate the need for multiple treatments
<br />during an initial 3 years of more intense vegetation restoration effort.
