M6E1

• Remove black cottonwoods which are limiting Douglas fir growth potential.

Limit invasive species in understory and replace with native species. Black cottonwood seriously limiting growth potential of otherwise healthy Douglas fir.

M6S1

• Remove Himalayan blackberry.
  
• Plant deciduous and broad-leaved evergreen from mixed plant palette to join separated mixed deciduous sections.

Removal of blackberry and introduction of mixed planting will enhance the continuity of this trail section.

M6E2

• Remove invasive species to reduce negative effect on good overstory diversity.
  
• Introduce mixed plant understory.

Elimination of invasive species affecting the overstory will allow for development of good plant specimens.
