NEW BUISNESS – 5F <br />Site Information <br /> <br />* The light purple indicates where the goats browsed in September 2023. <br />* The darker purple areas are where I recommend an initial seeding this winter or transplanted plugs in <br /> summer 2024. <br />Recommended Plant Communities <br /> When buckthorn or other invasive species are removed, it is now considered crucial to add native plants <br />– if they are not already prevalent in the seed bank – as soon as possible. Otherwise, we're creating an <br />opening for more invasive species to take root. But not all plants are created equal; it’s important to select <br />plants adapted to the existing moisture and light conditions. <br /> <br /> The DNR’s Field Guide to the Native Plant Communities of Minnesota: The Eastern Broadleaf Forest <br />Province was used to identify which species are commonly found in natural areas with the soil & <br />hydrological properties that match the selected sections of Chatham Trails, as well as the “Indicator Plants” <br />found in the park. Some of those are listed below. Species that are currently found in those sections of the <br />park are highlighted in green.
