Exhibit A: List of Restoration Activities <br />Year <br />Season <br />Units <br />Activity <br />Acres <br />PHASE 1. REMOVE INVASVIVE WOODY AND UNDESIREABLE NATIVE WOODY SPECIES <br />Cut and treat non-native woody brush and trees and <br />other undesirable native woody brush in the areas <br />surrounding the homestead/barns. <br />These include FF1 and the vegetation types along <br />10 <br />the NW edge of the property: altered grassland, <br />Unit 1 <br />altered forest, and oak savanna. <br />(FF -1 and <br />neighboring <br />Haul brush to piles and either chip, remove or burn in <br />1 <br />Fall/winter <br />areas) <br />winter. Seed open areas after removal. <br />Cut and treat non-native woody brush and trees and <br />other undesirable native woody brush in the large <br />floodplain unit (FF -2). Buckthorn here is denser than <br />in other units. Haul brush to piles and either chip, <br />19 <br />remove or burn in winter. Seed open areas after <br />Unit 1 <br />removal. <br />1 <br />Fall/winter <br />(FF -2) <br />Cut and treat non-native woody brush and trees and <br />other undesirable native woody brush in the more <br />traditional floodplain units (FF -3 and 4). Haul brush to <br />28 <br />piles and either chip, remove or burn in winter. Seed <br />Unit 1 <br />open areas after removal. <br />1 <br />Fall/winter <br />(FF -3, FF -4) <br />Cut and treat non-native woody brush and other <br />undesirable native woody brush on a portion of the <br />floodplain island. Haul brush to piles and either chip, <br />13 <br />remove or burn in winter. Seed open areas after <br />1* <br />Fall/winter <br />Unit 3 <br />removal. <br />Spot/broadcast spray invasive seedlings from <br />70 <br />2 <br />Fall <br />Units 1, 3 <br />seedbank and any resprouts <br />Spot/broadcast spray invasive seedlings from <br />70 <br />3 <br />Fall <br />Units 1, 3 <br />seedbank <br />PHASE 2. RESTORE PRAIRIE AND PROTECT REMAINING PRAIRIE/SAVANNA <br />Breeding bird survey before restoration occurs. <br />0/1 <br />June <br />Units 1-3 <br />Should be the same as Phase 1 survey. <br />335 <br />Broadcast and/or spot spray non-native grasses <br />(smooth brome, Kentucky bluegrass) and other <br />160 <br />Late <br />herbaceous invasive species along field edges and in <br />1* <br />spring <br />Units 1-3 <br />existing grassland units. <br />Purchase mesic prairie/savanna seed mix for use on <br />160 <br />1 <br />Summer <br />Unit 2 <br />the agricultural field. <br />Prep the agricultural field for seeding: after the annual <br />crop is harvested, disc in remaining residue and <br />160 <br />1 <br />Fall <br />Unit 2 <br />harrow field to provide smooth seeding environment. <br />Drill seed agricultural field with native prairie seed <br />mix. Consider adding a cover crop (winter wheat) to <br />160 <br />1 <br />Fall <br />Unit 2 <br />prevent erosion. <br />Conduct three prairie establishment mows when <br />160 <br />2 <br />Summer <br />Unit 2 <br />vegetation reaches 12in in height. Mow to 4-6in. <br />
