Burke-Gilman Trail Vegetation Management Plan

Management Unit 3

Management Unit 3: 30th Ave NE to 36th Ave NE
The trail here is bordered by single-family residential property to the north and light industrial/commercial properties to the south.

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.
