They informed us that some trees had been cut within your <br /> shoreline buffer zone. <br /> Upon inspecting the shoreline, I noticed at least seven tree stumps where larger trees had been <br /> removed from the shoreline buffer area. As your required shoreline restoration, I would simply <br /> recommend planting back seven tree species of your choice. The remainder of your shoreline is in <br /> a natural condition. For your tree plantings, you should focus on species that do well on dry, sandy <br /> soil, such as Quaking Aspen, Red Pine and White Pine. While Red Oak would also do well, they <br /> are not the best choice if you have concerns about oak wilt. The fall season is a good time to plant <br /> trees and you should be able to do so right up until the ground freezes. <br /> Staff from our office may inspect the property for compliance during the 2016 growing season. If <br /> you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call at the number listed above. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Paul D. Cook <br /> Conservation Specialist <br />
