Burke-Gilman Trail Vegetation Management Plan

Management Unit 8

Management Unit 8: NE 77th St. to Inverness Dr. NE
The trail has single-family and multiple-family residences to the west and Sandpoint Way NE to the east.

M8E1

• Control invasives in the understory.
  
• Reforest with native conifer and deciduous trees.

This is the widest section of the Burke-Gilman Trail and has the greatest potential for native habitat. Existing bigleaf maples are multi-stem stump sprouts. Diversification with nativeconifers and snag conversion could increase habitat values considerably.

M8W1

• Thin Sycamore row planting.

A remnant row planting is crowded and likely to lift trail pavement in the future. Gradual thinning and replacement would afford a more continuous native palette.

M8W2

• Remove invasive species to assist with development of existing native component.
  
• Diversify understory by replanting with native plants where invasive species are removed.

Good potential for wildlife habitat enhancement. Continuation of project M13EW1.
