Presbyterian Homes of Arden Hills Preliminary Landscape Management Plan Page 6 c. Planting Appendix A: Appendix B: Appendix C: Potential plantings include: Forester's Report, dated 7 September 2010 http: /www. extension. umn. edu distribution /horticulture /DG0628.html. A key element of the management plan is the introduction of new plants to the wooded area. Selective removal of dead trees or hazard trees, as well as some of the impacts from construction activities, will result in locations where new trees can be planted. Plantings will be selected for their ability to thrive in this area and their contribution to the creation of biologic diversity. Locations for new plantings will be staked in the field based upon removed trees and construction impacts. Quantity Species Sizes 10 to 15 Swamp White Oak 3/4"-1 cal. 20 to 25 Bur Oak 3/4"-1 cal. 15 to 20 Red Maple %"-1 cal. 15 to 20 River Birch 3/4" -1 %2" cal. 30 to 35 Quaking Aspen 3/4"-1 cal. 10 to 15 White Cedar 3/4"-1 cal. 20 to 30 Alleghany Serviceberry %2 -1" cal. 20 to 30 Red Osier Dogwood %2 -1" cal. 20 to 30 American Plum %2 -1" cal. Newly planted trees should be protected against rodent damage or other problems that could injure or kill the tree. Managing the landscape of the site's wooded areas involves not only trees, but other vegetation as well. As noted in the list above, the plan for managing the landscape should include small trees, and possible ground layer species as well. Including these types of small trees and shrubs will help to establish more natural transitions at areas where portions of a wooded area are removed.
