groupings with some individual plants interspersed throughout, or broadcast seeded to create
a natural appearing end meadow-woodland complex.
Because of the very different light and canopy regimes at the edge of the existing forest that
surrounds the meadow, a different suite of species will be utilized in this area than those in
the open habitat. There is a desire among the partners involved with this project to leave the
area of Mitigation Site #2 somewhat open and create a meadow-like habitat to support the
previously discussed pollinator initiatives. As such, plant species installed at this site will
include more forbs, low shrubs, and native grasses than trees. It is expected that without
regular maintenance the natural seed rain from the surrounding trees will eventually convert
the open area into a treed area over time. This will not be facilitated through active
revegetation efforts by RST, however.
The species suite to be utilized in pollinator meadow of Mitigation Site #2 will include some
or all of the plants in Table 3a below. The mix used for the forested ecotone is reflected in
Table 3b.
