Project Proposal (USFS to purchase and install materials and conduct all related site work)
The site would house 500 plants in 5-gallon pots. Pots would be placed on 4� x 3.5� pallets set in rows (180-200 pallets) on top of weed barrier. A shade structure would be constructed over the plants to reduce summer radia�on. Shade structure would consist of 10 � tall steel posts with support posts and guide cables (~29 holes) with concrete foo�ngs installed 20 � apart. Steel cable would be stretched between posts holding up shade cloth over the pallets and plants.
USFS staff would purchase materials and conduct all site development (weed barrier, pallets, plants, irriga�on system, and shade structure). USFS staff would visit site to establish and monitor plants during irriga�on season (2-3 �mes/week), in late summer for leaf harvest, and in fall to prune. Addi�onal visits may be needed for upgrades and repairs.
