FLCL/Martin County WMA Tree Removal Phase 3

On native prairie and restored prairie habitat, encroachment by trees is shading out prime vegetation, destroying the prairie habitat. Both the encroaching tree seedlings and the seed trees need to be removed to eliminate this threat to the prairie habitat. Currently the sites are dominated by diverse native prairie species. Small areas of mature trees exist on edges or clumps within the prairie habitat. These mature trees are providing a seed source resulting in tree invasion into the prairie as scattered trees and dense patches of trees that are completely smothering out the prairie plant species. Cut and pile if possible, all undesirable trees and shrub species and treat deciduous tree and shrub stumps and foliage regrowth on WMA's in Martin County.
