Description The project includes native vegetation establishment and management activities for the City's managed natural areas located within parks and additional city properties. Establishment activities include the installation of native vegetation through seeding/planting and any associated establishment maintenance. Native vegetation management is the maintenance of existing natural areas to support the current native plant communities by reducing the presence of invasive species. This maintenance typically involves targeted mowing and herbicide applications to control invasive plants and prescribed burning to promote native plant regeneration. Justification The City has added 85 new acres of native vegetation areas throughout the City over the past 3 years and will continue to add new areas with future park development projects. The City also has existing native vegetation areas that have not been previously managed, due to budget constraints, and are inundated with invasive plants. It can take 3 to 5 years for new native vegetation to establish in the landscape and these areas face heavy pressures from invasive species. Vegetation establishment and management is the key to producing high quality natural areas and this funding will allow the city to appropriately maintain these assets.
