Goals and Tasks to Complete in Mixed Forest C:  Riparian Forest

  1. Remove nootka rose - share with other sites.
  2. Trim all sword ferns.
  3. Transplant sword ferns in other areas within our site.  Share excess ferns with other sites.
  4. Care for redwood sorrel patch near the big leaf maple.
  5. Procure plants from the "Desired Plant List" below.
  6. Mulch and define area around utility cover.
  7. Encourage the large leaved avens patch in the center of the horseshoe shaped trail.

Desired Plant List:

Evergreen violet
False lily of the valley
False solomon's seal   (plant at East end of site)
Fringecup (plant with FSS)
Red huckleberry
Thimbleberry (plant near cedar)
Trillium (plant near maple)
Yellow wood violet

Wish List:

Build viewing bench to be placed near the big leaf maple.  This would allow visitors another perspective on the garden.

 

 

Winter 2007

The following are goals and tasks we would like to complete by the end of spring quarter 2007.
  • Create a path near the maple that connects site A to site C. This path can lead to a viewing point near the maple looking towards the seasonal creek to the west.
  • Clear clover near maple for a path – transplant in another area.
  • Finish transplanting nootka rose.
  • Complete sitting area near western red cedar.


Desired plants for Mixed Forest C as of March 2007

Evergreen violet Viola sempervirens
False solomon's seal Smilacina racemosa
Oceanspray Holodiscus discolor
Red flowering current Ribes sanguineum
Trillium Trillium ovatum
Vanilla leaf Achlys triphylla
Vine maple Acer circinatum

 

Fall 2006

Here are some of our goals so far for our site:

Re-establish path: weed path, clear of excess fallen leaves, re-mulch, fill in stone gaps

Prune: nootka rose at path edge, ferns taking over path

We would both like to learn about how to prune correctly and which plants are weeds to be pulled.

We will put more as we think of them but right now this is what we are focusing on in the immediate future.
