3. In years following the first growing season, Integrated Plant Management (IPM) <br />services are utilized to control annual, biennial and perennial weed species within the <br />developing native landscape. Typical IPM services include spot herbicide spraying, <br />spot mowing, herbicide wicking or hand weeding. These services are billed on a per <br />trip cost agreed upon prior to the growing season. <br />4. Prescribed burning is a highly effective management tool and may be recommended <br />for your project as it matures. Burning stimulates native species to grow more <br />robustly and also help to deter the presence of many non-native and/or woody <br />species. Prescribed burning, when recommended, will be provided as a separate lump <br />sum cost. <br />5. In lieu of burning, or during years when the site is not burned, a Spring Dormant <br />Mowing can be used to "clean up" 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 />6. Management is not included in the below quote. <br />G. Anticipated Management: <br />The following table conveys the anticipated management procedures for your project <br />during the first 3 growing seasons. Estimates for these procedures are provided in the <br />cost section of this proposal. <br />Year Projected Management Procedures <br />1 Complete site mowings to control annual weed canopy <br />(mowings as needed). <br />Project monitoring <br />2 Complete site mowing <br />Integrated Plant Management (IPM) — includes spot spraying, spot mowing, wicking, hand <br />weeding, and other techniques to control weeds and invasive species <br />Project monitoring <br />3 Spring burn to encourage native plant growth and to help deter the presence of non-native and <br />woody species. <br />Integrated Plant Management (IPM) <br />Project monitoring <br />5 <br />
