richness due to past grazing and the impacts of nonnative/invasive shrubs. We propose to reintroduce appropriate seed and plants to the site to complement existing species. The planting list will be created by Paul Bockenstedt, Plant/Restoration Ecologist at Bonestroo Natural Resources. Plant materials will be chosen that are appropriate for the community type, known to be native to the area, and available as a local seedJplant source. Whenever possible, plant materials will have their origin within 25 miles of the site. If a suitable plant materials source can not be found for a particular species within the acceptable range, funds will be redirected to purchase additional quantities of other species that have a more local origin. Seeding/Planting will be conducted as soon as possible after burning. Where conditions favor planting at a later date, seedlings will be installed in fa112004/spring 2005 and seed installed during the winter of 200412005. Although fluctuations occur in availability and cost from year to year, we anticipate being able to purchase a minimum of the following amounts of plant materials for installation across a total of 25 acres on this project: Seed Live Plants Prairie Forbs (> 12 spp.) 1# 300 Prairie Grasses �� 3 spp.) 8 oz. 100 Forest Forbs(> 5 spp.) 8oz. ��i� Forest Grasses � 4 spp.) 4# - Task 4— Volunteer Coordination and Public Outreach Deliverable: Newsletter/newspaper article(s) and Volunteer organization January2004—June2005 Roseville Parks & Recreation staff will work to coordinate volunteer efforts for this project as well as publication of major resource management events and volunteer days in appropriate local media and city government information outlets throughout the course of the proj ect.
