This palette is designed to maintain or re-introduce a native vegetation
character to areas of the trail considered to be wet sites. The goal is
to eliminate invasive species from these wet areas. Emphasis is on providing
overstory and a dense, aggressive native shrub layer to compete with invasive
species and buffer runoff. Project M7N1 in Management Unit 5 calls for
the development of a Wetland Demonstration Project for which this plant
palette is directly applicable. All trees/plants listed perform very well
on wet sites.
