M11E1

  • Remove invasive species from understory of row planting, seriously affecting plant performance.

Removal will improve overall plant performance.

M11E2

  • Remove invasive species from trunk and canopy of trees to reduce possibility of future failure.

Potential for failure of trees exists due to dominance of invasive species.

M11E3

  • Complete continuous stretch of row plantings.
  • Design is disjointed by DEnn and Ob sections.

The joining of row plantings will add to the consistency of landscape character in this section of trail.

M11W1

  • Consult with Geotechnical Engineers prior to implementation.
  • Remove invasive species from canopy.
  • Introduce soil erosion control plants without removing existing vegetation.
  • Establish native understory so as to add to soil stabilization.

Refer to Soil Erosion Control Section for implementation approach.
