No Touch, Natural Vegetation Zone <br /> Do not mow or otherwise maintain the existing groundcover in the no-touch zone. There <br /> is a nice, native groundcover on much of the north side of the lot. <br /> Bare areas must be revegetated. Planting seedlings is recommended. Instructions are <br /> included in the landowner guide. Plants should be chosen from the Oak/Pine Forest list <br /> for the north side of the property where it is shady(area 22). Large-leaf aster is a good <br /> choice from this list. Some grasses such as bottlebrush grass, Canada wild rye, and June <br /> grass will do ok in partial shade. <br /> Bare areas on the south side of the property also must be revegetated(area 23). Choose <br /> from the Woodland Edge—Oak Pine Barrens list for groundcovers and flowers on this <br /> side. June grass also seems to be doing well on your property, so you could plant that <br /> also. <br /> Plant shrubs and trees as indicated on the site plan. You may substitute from the <br /> Woodland Edge—Oak Pine Barrens list if desired. Choose at least 2 different shrub <br /> species for your restoration. Shrubs may be transplanted from nearby wooded areas. Be <br /> aware that there are some invasive, non-native shrubs such as honeysuckle and buckthorn <br /> that are common in woodlands in Burnett County. Bare root seedlings and transplants, <br /> which are very economical, are generally available in the spring from county-sponsored <br /> sales or directly from suppliers in larger quantities. <br /> Viewing/Access Corridor <br /> A 30-foot wide viewing/access corridor is allowed as indicated on the site drawing. Uses <br /> such as boat/canoe storage should be concentrated in the corridor or outside of the buffer <br /> zone. <br /> Bare areas in the corridor must also be revegetated. A lawn cover is adequate for this <br /> area. Some options you might consider: <br /> Option 1: Seed short/dry native grass. <br /> This mix is available from Prairie Restorations, Princeton, MN (612-389-4342). It <br /> includes side oats grama(30%),blue grama (25%), little bluestem (42.5%), kalm's brome <br /> (1%), June grass (1%), and prairie dropseed(0.5%). If left to grow, these grasses will <br /> reach 1-2.5 feet. To maintain a lawn area, mow to 6 inches occasionally. Allow to grow <br /> to full height outside the viewing/access corridor. Prairie Restorations recommends <br /> 0.5lbs./1000 sq. feet at$19.75/lb. ($9.88/1000 sq. ft.) plus shipping and handling. <br /> Option 2: Native grasses with yarrow. <br /> Seed or plant plugs of yarrow with the above grasses. Wild strawberry is a good addition <br /> if you can find it. The yarrow adds soft foliage to the lower-growing grasses from the <br /> above mix. Maintain this as described above. <br /> 3: May 22,2000 <br />
