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)

ADDITIONAL SPECIFICATIONS: Provide all necessary additional details here to meet all Criteria and all documentation requirements in the 612 Conservation Practice Standard.

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.

□ Other (specify) _____________________________________________________________________
