Longleaf Pine Project Progress from May - September 2007 |
All projects listed below are current and ongoing. |
| 1) Hardwood control in core management area (Arsenal injection). “SAVE Area West” and “Stand F”. |
| 2) Replacing and refinishing Longleaf Trail signs. |
| 3) 7 acres in Selective Cut #1 needs to be herbicided with site preparation level of Arsenal. This will be done by tractor/sprayer in mid- to late-summer. Before that, site needs to be prepped so as to allow access by a tractor or 4 wheeler and existing trees need to be removed and the stumps sprayed with Arsenal (hack and squirt level). |
| 4) Firebreak work in Selective-Cut #1. Need to maintain firebreak using Round-up herbicide. |
| 5) Treat all planting areas with Garlon 3a foliar spray, spot applications as needed to suppress blackberries, hardwoods, and invasive alien species. Carefully avoid spraying longleaf seedlings. |
| 6) Carbon monitoring and fuel analysis of all planting areas and permanent study stands. Start in June. |
| 7) Maintenance of longleaf grafted seed orchard (behind ball stadium). |
| 8) Maintenance of longleaf seedlings in nursery. |
| 9) Mapping and GIS work. |
| 10) Begin site preparation of longleaf seedling seed orchard (along Stretch Road). |
