Oaks were planted in 2014 or 2015 to replace thnse lost'dur 3g highway widening. Goal is <br /> to have an appropriate number of oaks be self-sustaining in approximately 3 years(2017),with no <br /> additional maintenance or monitoring required after 5 years(2019).

Also plan for weeding of Zones A, <br /> a and C in early fall-just prior to LARPD s fall application of chemical control(please coordinate.with Robert <br /> Martinez on timing). This material should not be left onsite in order to allow the chemical control to penetrate to <br /> the soil. <br /> 10 <br />an LARPD employee. <br /> 3 <br /> distributing material) <br /> • Secure sponsors for clean-up supplies and refreshments and send out thank you cards to <br /> sponsors after events. <br /> • Register outside volunteers for Spots 1, 8, 9, and10(e.g., identify spot needs, send out email <br /> invitations and follow-up with site captains and volunteers). <br /> 2 <br />
