Oak Woodland Restoration

This project will include the restoration of 6 acres of oak woodland and enhancement of another 14 acres of oak woodland. The restoration and enhancement will include removal of invasive species, primarily buckthorn, further removal of undesirable tree species, prescribed burning at select areas, and seeding of ?aggressive? native herbaceous mix put together to out compete reemerging buckthorn seedlings. The 6 acres of restoration will adjoin previous woodland restoration work funded by the CPL grant program (2015 and 2016), which will complete almost all oak forest restoration within Long Lake Regional Park. The enhancement will include over 14 acres of woodland that was restored through donated contributions.
