Management: <br /> <br />1.Management (maintenance) plays a vital role in the eventual success of any native landscape installation, <br />especially during the establishment period. Active management of your native landscape is highly <br />recommended to give the project the best opportunity for long-term success. Management of your established <br />section will begin before management of the re-installation. <br /> <br />2.During the germination year, the project area may need to be mowed to control annual weed development. If <br />reducing competition. Mowing may also be necessary if the weeds are about to set seed. Optimum cutting <br />height, depending on the wildflower species present, is typically 4 to 6 inches. It is important that the clippings <br />are finely mulched in order to prevent smothering. PRI can provide the mowing services if desired. Please <br />refer to the cost section of this proposal for a mowing quote. <br /> <br />3.In years following the first growing season, Integrated Plant Management (IPM) services are utilized to control <br />annual, biennial, and perennial weed species within the developing native landscape. Typical IPM services <br />include spot herbicide spraying, spot mowing, or hand weeding. These services are billed on a per trip cost <br />agreed upon prior to the growing season. Rough estimates may be provided in the cost section of this <br />proposal for these future management activities. <br /> <br />4.Prescribed burning is a highly effective management tool and may be recommended for your project as it <br />matures. Burning stimulates native species to grow more robustly and also help to deter the presence of many <br />non-native and/or woody species. Prescribed burning, if desired, will be provided as a separate lump sum <br />cost. <br /> <br />5. <br />ccur early in <br />the spring, as soon as conditions permit. Spring Dormant Mowing, if desired, will be provided as a separate <br />lump sum cost. <br /> <br />H. Anticipated Management: <br /> <br />The following table conveys the anticipated management procedures for your project during the first 3 <br />growing seasons. Estimates for installation and Year 1 procedures are provided in the cost section of this <br />proposal.
