r r <br /> 2. Due to nature of this project, the maintenance requirements are somewhat different <br /> when compared to larger, seeded restorations. These "garden-like" sites are best <br /> maintained utilizing hand weeding techniques accomplished by personnel adept at <br /> identifying native and non-native plants. <br /> 3. As the project matures, some herbicide may be used as well to eradicate perennial, <br /> invasive species such as Canada thistle or bird's foot trefoil. The herbicide is typically <br /> applied via backpack sprayer or by "wicking"the herbicide onto the plant. <br /> 4. Hand weeding and spot herbicide treatments are billed on a per trip cost agreed upon <br /> prior to the growing season. <br /> 5. In the future, when the project is more mature and the bark mulch has deteriorated, <br /> the possibility of implementing a prescribed burn can be explored. Prescribed burns <br /> are extremely helpful in that they stimulate native species to grow more robustly. The <br /> burning also helps to deter the presence non-native species. Prescribed burning, <br /> when recommended, will be provided as a separate lump sum cost. <br /> 6. In lieu of burning, or during years when the site is not burned, a Spring Dormant <br /> Mowing can be used to "clean up" the previous year's growth and set the table for the <br /> new growing season. This mowing would occur early in the spring, as soon as . <br /> conditions permit. Spring Dormant Mowing, when recommended, will be provided as <br /> a separate lump sum cost. <br /> G.
