M3N1

  • Remove Himalayan blackberry around row Norway maples.
  • Eliminate direct competition.

M3S1

  • Remove invasive species from understory to limit effect on good native component.
  • Diversify overstory and understory with erosion control pallette and native trees.
  • Plant to increase native understory.

Presence of a good native understory warrants the elimination of invasive species starting to establish on the site.

M3N2

  • Remove invasive species.
  • Introduce native overstory and understory to match west side of trail.

Introduction of native species will match vegetation on south side of the trail and give a continuity to this section.

M3N2

  • Good native component.
  • Remove invasive species and diversify with native replacements.

The addition of native species to this site will insure the maintenance of a native habitat, free of invasive species.
