Hazelnut Park, Planting Proposal, Area #2 <br /> 18 th June 2022 <br /> OVERVIEW <br /> In the section of Hazelnut Park that lies north of the baseball field, I propose that we add more <br /> native plant species. It would involve replacing the section of sod that lies between the trail and <br /> the woods with an assortment of colorful prairie plants, as well as replacing the buckthorn on the <br /> edge of the woods with a mix of shade-loving flowers, grasses, and shrubs. <br /> GOALS <br /> 1. Improve the appearance of this area with flowers that bloom from spring through fall. <br /> 2. Improve wildlife habitat by providing: <br /> a. Pollen & nectar sources for pollinators <br /> b. A variety of host plants for insects which, in turn, are an important food source for <br /> birds. <br /> c. Replace invasive buckthorn with a few different native shrubs which–in addition to <br /> a & b–could also provide cover for nesting birds. <br /> SPECIFICATIONS <br /> 1.
