No Touch, Natural Vegetation Zone <br /> Do not mow, trim, or otherwise maintain existing groundcover, trees, or shrubs in the no- <br /> touch zone. Bare and sparse areas must be planted with native groundcovers. <br /> There is an area that begins east of the fire pit and extends 25 feet to the east where the no, <br /> touch zone is only 25 feet deep. Extend the no touch zone back an additional ten feet in this <br /> area by planting six shrubs from the Oak or Pine Forest list in the landowner guide and <br /> discontinuing mowing. <br /> ***Vegetation native to Burnett County is required for the restoration.******* <br /> The landowner guide includes appropriate plant lists and a list of businesses that provide native <br /> plants. These plants are suited to the conditions of the property, and will provide food and habitat <br /> for birds and animals around the lake. Non-native vegetation planted in this zone as part of the <br /> restoration may be required to be removed and replaced with native vegetation. <br /> Do not substitute non-native shrubs. Be sure to avoid all honeysuckles other than the bush <br /> honeysuckle Diervilla lonicera. These can be invasive in forested areas. Honeysuckles other than <br /> this species will be required to be removed from the planting. <br /> You may trim up to a two-foot diameter circle around newly planted shrubs for the first year or two <br /> to give them a good start. You may need to protect small seedlings from deer browsing by <br /> circling with wire mesh. <br /> Do not trim trees and shrubs except in the designated viewing corridor. <br />
