During nesting bird season (February 1 – August 31) tree <br />removal requires <br />biologist no more than seven days prior to the work. <br />During this period, only hazardous trees may be removed. <br />tree provide suitable roosting habitat. Trees should also be <br />inspected for woodrat nests. Email Stewardship@ebparks. <br />org two to four weeks prior to tree removal to schedule <br />a survey. If it is an emergency (imminent danger), proceed <br />immediately. <br />height) in riparian areas (areas next to wet or dry streams) <br />Contact Stewardship@ebparks.org. <br />When cutting <br />individual limbs <br />off trees or <br />maintaining <br />height clearances <br />for trails, be <br />vigilant and avoid <br />disturbance of any <br />active bird nests. <br />Contact the Stewardship@ebparks.org if there is any <br />concern that limb removal could impact an active bird nest. <br />• If possible, leave cut limbs whole and onsite to create more <br />habitat. If chipping is necessary, leave chips in place when <br />feasible. <br />• Do not pile chips in grasslands; scatter to a maximum <br />of two-inch depth. <br />Prior to vegetation removal, survey the area for San <br />Francisco dusky-footed woodrat nests. If a woodrat <br />nest is found, STOP removing vegetation and email <br />Stewardship@ebparks.org to develop a plan to <br />protect or relocate the nest. <br />Keep disturbance or <br />removal of vegetation <br />around a woodrat <br />nest to the minimum <br />necessary to <br />complete the work, <br />subject to other <br />public health and <br />safety directives. <br />• After vegetation management or construction <br />activities, apply erosion control measures in sloped <br />areas with bare, disturbed soil. These measures may <br />include straw mulching, seeding, and <br />straw wattles. To avoid trapping <br />snakes and other animals, only use <br />biodegradeable wattles <br />without plastic netting. <br />Available through <br />Central Stores. <br />2 <br />Docusign Envelope ID: FC1F18B4-4491-45B3-9922-58279C679BDA
