The enclosed booklet,Shoreline Buffer Restoration a Guide for Landowners provides <br /> planting instructions(page 13),plant lists, and potential sources of native plants(page <br /> 20). <br /> Viewing/Access Corridor and Minimum Maintenance Zone <br /> The enclosed Shoreline Buffer Restoration Drawing indicates a 30 foot corridor where <br /> most of the disturbance has occurred and bare soils remain. This area must be vegetated <br /> with at least a ground cover. Lawn grasses are permissible,but native grasses as <br /> described above will likely do better on sandy soils present. You might also consider a <br /> now-mow grass mix of annual rye. No mow grass mixes include fine fescue grasses. <br /> http://www.t)rairienursery.com/store/no-mow-lawn/no-mow-lawn-seed-mix-with-annual- <br /> rye#.VbE07HLbLcs <br /> No Touch, Natural Vegetation Zone <br /> The no touch, natural vegetation zone to be restored is any bare area outside the 30 foot <br /> view corridor within 35 feet of the ordinary high water mark. This amounts to about 260 <br /> square feet. <br /> Groundcovers(grasses and flowers) and shrubs must be planted to restore the area. <br /> ***Vegetation native to Burnett County is required for the restoration******* <br /> These plants are suited to the conditions of the property, and will provide food and <br /> habitat for birds and animals around the lake. Non-native vegetation planted in this <br /> zone as part of the restoration may be required to be removed and replaced with <br /> native vegetation. <br /> Regular watering is critical for survival of newly planted vegetation. (Ideally, this <br /> means at least weekly for shrubs for the first growing season. Daily watering may be <br /> needed for newly planted seedlings. Automatic timers are available in hardware stores if <br /> you cannot be there to water.) <br /> Groundcovers <br /> Any bare areas within the no-touch zone must be planted with native groundcovers. <br /> Other areas within the no-touch zone that are partially disturbed must be allowed to <br /> grow with no mowing or trimming. Best time to plant is from mid- August to mid- <br /> September. <br /> Plant native groundcovers to fill in bare areas in the no-touch zone. Choose seedlings <br /> from the Woodland Edge—Oak/Pine Barrens list of the landowner guide, and plant <br /> them no more than one foot apart. Instructions for planting seedlings are found on page <br /> 13. All planted areas must be mulched—straw or leaves are suggested. Do not remove <br /> any of the existing vegetation except for invasive species if present. <br /> Recommended grasses and sedges <br /> Little bluestem <br /> Pennsylvania sedge <br /> 3 <br />
