ROSEVILLE PARKS RENEWAL PROGRAM - NATURAL RESOURCE PROJECTS Park Location within Type Size Est. Type Project cost estimate Funding Maintenance Comments Rank ark Priority AC, SF or LF Habitat water PRRP Grant Other quality Invasive cut /treat, reintroduce native woodland grasses and PIONEER Woodland areas Woodland /Forest 2 .3 AC Medium X $13,800 X Y flowers where possible, two years of follow -up treatments. This 15 Restoration site was significantly disturbed in the past, but is an important extension of the natural areas in Reservoir Woods. Pioneer Total $13,800 This forest restoration would be a little different than other parks. The area is relatively open with a herbaceous layer dominated by nonnative grasses and invasive weeds. This area would be difficult to restore to prairie. Preferred route would be to cut/treat select invasive trees and shrubs, and unmaintained areas Woodland /Forest Medium- then heavily stock area with desirable native hardwood bare POCAHONTAS 1.5 X $10,000 X Y root tree seedlings. Includes 2 years of grow -in spot treatment 16 on east side of park Restoration low of invasives,. Assumes 12 -18" bare root stock planted at —600 tree seedling per acre (also assumes —50% loss). Planting 40 - #5 pot trees /ac. with mulch and watering would cost approximately the same amount. Converting herbaceous layer to all natives not recommended due to high cost and low chance for success This project would primarily be managing reed canary grass POCAHONTAS SE side Wetland Restoration .25 AC Low X $7,500 X Y and attempting to convert to natives. Wetland appears to have 16 significant water level bounce. This project would have a low probabillity of success and is therefore not recommended. Pocahontas Total $17,500 For the most part, this forest is significantly disturbed and Woodland /Forest included recently developed forest as well as remnant oak VALLEY All woodland areas Restoration 4.5 AC Medium X $27,000 X Y forest that has been disturbed by past filling and /or 17 encroachment. Activities include cut /treat of invasive species, native seeding, reforestation of west side of south storm pond. Dowonstream Install and maintain native emergent and shoreline buffer VALLEY Storm Pond Wetland Restoration 1 AC Medium X $9,000 X X Y vegetation, including protective fencing and grow -in 17 maintenance. Valley Total $36,000 Plant communities at this site are adventive and relatively degraded, but provide valuable continuity with the Ramsey TAMARACK All woodland areas Woodland /Forest 4.2 AC Medium X $25,200 X Y County wetland mitigation site and other city -owned sites 18 Restoration further west/northwest. Work would include invasive brush /tree management, herbaceous invasive /nonnative management. Not likely a good candidate for a grant Tamarack Total $25,200 IM
