Description of work: Randy Leisure has enrolled approximately 15 acres of his property into the Wetland Reserve Easement program. This job sheet gives recommendations for seeding the Northern field outside of the wetland pockets. The northern field is a mono-culture of switchgrass, use mix "A" on this field. The overall goal of this seed mix is to ensure beneficial species establish on the site as soon as possible. Seeding will be achieved by frost seeding the site. ***See additional job sheets for the other areas to be seeded.

Planting method: Dormant drill seed between Dec - March when soil temps are below 40 degrees with a fluffy seed box style drill (ex. Truax, Great Plains, etc.)

Planting description: At least two herbicide applications should be performed on the existing vegetation (Fall/Spring). Include a broad leaf selective herbicide (2,4-D) in the first application, and use only a non-selective herbicide thereafter and before planting.

DEFINITION: Establishing woody plants by planting seedlings or cuttings, by direct seeding, and/or through natural regeneration.

PURPOSE(s): (Check at least one and all that apply)

□ Maintain or improve desirable plant diversity, productivity, and health by establishing woody plants.

□ Create or improve habitat for desired wildlife species compatible with ecological characteristics of the site.

□ Improve water quality. Reduce excess nutrients and other pollutants in runoff and groundwater.

□ Control erosion.

□ Sequester and store carbon.

□ Restore or maintain native plant communities.

□ Develop renewable energy systems.

□ Conserve energy.

□ Provide for beneficial organisms and pollinators.

Associated Practice(s): This practice may be applied alone or in combination with other supporting Pennsylvania conservation practice standards. The following practices are necessary, and or have been or will be implemented: (check all that apply)

□ Brush Management (314)

□ Herbaceous Weed Treatment (315)

□ Tree/Shrub Site Prep (490)

Include any necessary site preparation and planting methods information. Attach and reference additional information, standard drawings, references, etc., as needed.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE (Check all that apply)

□ Maintain the health of the plant community by controlling competing vegetation, as needed, until the desired trees and shrubs area established. Do not conduct maintenance practices and activities during the primary reproductive period of wildlife.

□ Control access by vehicles and/or equipment during or after tree/shrub establishment to protect new plants and minimize erosion, compaction and other site impacts.

□ Inspect the site (frequency) following planting, seeding, and/or natural regeneration for (duration) to determine whether the survival rate for tree and shrubs meets practice and client objectives. Replant or provide supplemental planting when survival is not adequate. Maintain at least 70% (inclusive of natural regeneration) of the original plant stocking for the entire practice lifespan.

□ Inspect the trees and shrubs (frequency), and protect them from adverse impacts of insects, diseases, competing vegetation, fire, livestock, wildlife, and non-functioning tree shelters and/or weed barriers.

□ Inspect and maintain installed plant protection structures (regeneration area protection fencing and tree shelters).

□ Control plant species on the Federal or State invasive species and noxious weed lists using mechanical or chemical methods.

Prior to planting competing vegetation shall be removed from 3 feet diameter centered on the spot to plant the shrub. Shrubs shall be planted to the proper depth and have soil packed back around the installed shrub. Deer fence shall be inspected and maintained twice a year (Spring and Fall) during the planting year (Year 1) and years 2 and 3. Maintenance will involve making sure the polywire is still up and mowing or weed-wacking around the perimeter of the fence. Buttonbush should be planted in the wettest parts of each shrub planting. Shrubs will be planted in clumps throughout the area identified as shrub planting. Select areas that vary in topography and wetness. A mix of shrubs shall be in each clump.

Text62: Tree shall be protected with 5 foot tubes with a flared edge at the top and perforations so they can split to accomodate tree diameter. Tubes will be buried 2 inches in the ground at the bottom and staked with sturdy 1"x1" hardwood stakes. Tubes will be zip-tied to stakes with 2 zip-ties. Soil around the trees will be level with the growth node and soil firmed back around the tree after planting. Bird nets shall be installed on the top of the tube and removed when the tree gets within a foot of the top of the tube, before the tree grows into the net. Herbicide (Burndown year 1-3, and pre-emergent years 2 and 3) shall be applied in a 3-4 foot diameter circle to remove competing vegetation from around the base of the tree each spring for the planting year and two consecutive years. Straighten and rebury tubes yearly. Trees will be planted in clumps throughout the area identified as tree planting. Select areas that vary in topography. A mix of trees shall be in each clump.
