Viewing/Access Corridor <br /> Uses such as boat/canoe storage must be concentrated in the corridor. Lawn grass is an <br /> appropriate cover here. <br /> No Touch, Natural Vegetation Zone <br /> Establish the no-touch zone beginning at the ordinary high water mark and extending <br /> back 35 feet horizontally. <br /> Groundcovers <br /> Do not mow or otherwise maintain existing groundcover in the no-touch zone. Any <br /> bare or sparse areas must be planted with a native groundcover. Plants should be spaced <br /> no more than one foot apart to cover bare areas. Less dense planting may be used to fill in <br /> between sparse vegetation. An estimated 200 plants will be needed on the left side <br /> (facing the house) and 700 will be needed on the right side. Choose plants from the Pine <br /> or Oak Forest list on page 26 of the landowner guide. Planting instructions are also <br /> found in the guide. Do not remove existing groundcover unless you wish to replant the <br /> entire area. Mulch with leaves where bare areas are planted. A no- or low-phosphorus, <br /> organic fertilizer is recommended in the planting instructions. You may also wish to add <br /> some lime to the planting hole because of soil acidity. <br /> Shrubs <br /> Plant at least 33 shrubs scattered throughout the buffer following the general guidance in <br /> the restoration plan. Choose at least 2 different shrub species from the Pine or Oak <br /> Forest list in the landowner guide. Do not substitute non-native shrubs. Be sure to avoid <br /> all honeysuckles other than the bush honeysuckle Diervilla lonicera. These can be <br /> invasive in forested areas. Honeysuckles other than this species will be required to be <br /> removed from the planting. Plantings that do not survive must be replaced. <br /> You may trim up to a two-foot diameter circle around newly planted shrubs for the first <br /> year or two to give them a good start. <br /> 3:April 11,2005 <br />
