Overall,re-vegetating and expanding this unit can provide benefits,most important
<br /> of which include erosion control water filtration,and protection of the property
<br /> from flooding.The remaining woody invasive species should be removed,and native
<br /> trees and shrubs should be added in some places. Further to the south,grasses and
<br /> other savanna species should replace the non-natives grasses,and streambank
<br /> stabilization measures can be installed if the budget allows.
