About this file
The document is a landscape architecture project plan for the City of Portage Tree Planting Project in Portage, Michigan, prepared by OCBA Landscape Architects. The comprehensive tree planting initiative involves multiple locations across the city, including Lexington Green Park, Romence Road Parkway, Bicentennial Park, Celery Flats Park, City Hall, and Parks and Recreation areas. The project aims to strategically plant a diverse selection of native Michigan tree species, with specific guidelines for planting, including spacing, grouping, and species distribution. The plan details the placement of 76 proposed trees (25 canopy trees, 34 understory trees, and 17 evergreen trees) in the initial phase, with additional future whip tree planting areas planned to accommodate up to 1,565 whips across different locations.
The project emphasizes native tree selection, with strict requirements that all trees must be native to Michigan, well-formed, and of high quality. The planting strategy includes guidelines such as avoiding linear plantings, maintaining diversity by limiting any single species to 20% of a specified area, and ensuring proper spacing between trees. The plan also includes detailed notes on planting techniques, such as mulching, root ball preparation, and coordination with city staff for precise tree placement. Careful consideration is given to existing utilities, with multiple cautions to contact Miss Dig before construction and to verify underground utility locations. The project appears to be funded by the City of Portage Parks and Recreation Department, with a focus on enhancing urban green spaces and maintaining ecological diversity.
