Burke-Gilman Trail Vegetation Management Plan

Management Unit 12

Management Unit 12: NE 125th St. to NE 145th St.
The trail is surrounded by single-family residences.

M12E1

• Remove invasive species.
  
• Diversify overstory and understory using mixed planting palette.

Large enough section to act as break in row planting theme. Acts as a natural break in the row plantings that exist in this section of the trail. Removal of invasive species will allow for further development of understory.

M12W1

• Consult with Geotechnical Engineers prior to implementation.
  
• Increase diversity in understory in order to reduce risk of erosion.
  
• Good area for use of Red-osier dogwood stakes.

Refer to Soil Erosion Control section for implementation approach.

M12E2

• Remove invasive species to allow for improved performance of native understory.
  
• Diversify overstory with introduction of conifers on west side of trail, and the addition of erosion control plants and deciduous trees to east side of trail.
  
• Good potential for wildlife habitat development.

Native component is good throughout this site. The addition of conifers will enhance a potential wildlife habitat.
