21 Positive Reinforcement Awarded to 10 Sites Recognized for Commitment to Stewardship
22 Transforming the Rouge: Mowed Down to Grown Up Improve, Install and Enhance Riparian Buffers, Wetlands and Upland Habitat in the Rouge River Watershed Unite the Major Green Corridors along the Rouge River Develop Consistent Priorities for Restoration Implementation Improve Rouge River Fisheries
23 Transforming the Rouge: Mowed Down to Grown Up 6 sites across the watershed Southfield Valley Woods Wetland 7 acres restored Lower and Upper Rouge Parkway Lola Valley Park Eliza Howell and Rouge Park Approximately 25 acres turf grass converted to native vegetation
24 Lower and Upper Rouge Parkway 15 acres of turf grass converted to native vegetation Before Before After After
25 Rouge Park and Eliza Howell Park 5 acres of native prairie restored 5 acres of turf grass converted to native vegetation Controlled burns Seed installation by students Before After
26 Additional Green Infrastructure Programs Purchase and installation of 2,000 trees Green Schools: 225 trees and hundreds of seedlings Workshops Naturalizing home and golf course landscapes Maintenance 3,600 rain barrels sold
27 Recipe for Success Site Selection Choose a location that can be converted from mowed turf or an impervious surface to a native planting area Design Develop a planting plan that incorporates native plants that are appropriate to your specific conditions. Use seed, plants or a combination of both Site Preparation May include vegetation removal/herbicide application, tilling, soil amendments, soil erosion control measures, mulching, etc. Plant Installation / Volunteer Planting Day This is a great opportunity for parents, students, and the community to get involved Maintenance
28 Maintenance Watering Weeding Invasive Species Removal Mowing / Burning Replace and Replant
29 Watering Especially critical during plant establishment (1 total water per week, including rainfall, until vegetation is 4 high typical) Soak the soil below the mulch (pull back mulch to check) During excessive heat or drought more may be required
30 Weeding and Invasive Species Removal Inspect planting area on a weekly basis and remove unwanted species Identify invasive species. Treat and remove to prevent them from spreading Hand removal or herbicide treatment (spot spraying) may be required
31 Restores vegetation structure, composition and biodiversity Burning: Mowing and/or Burning March or April by experienced crews. One to three years after third year of establishment. Check with local fire regulations and obtain the appropriate permits. Mowing: Early spring (March April) Mow to height of 4-6 and remove clippings.
32 General Maintenance Check plant health and re-plant as necessary. Schedule replacement plantings for the spring or fall Thin, divide, and/or remove extra plants if overcrowding occurs. Replace mulch in planting beds as needed. If bare areas occur, additional seeding or planting may be necessary. Periodically inspect for debris and/or erosion issues and address as necessary
33 Challenges Acceptance and Appearance Maintenance (watering, weeding, invasive species removal) Site Preparation issues (imported topsoil/mulch) Maintaining contact person/volunteers Establishment period (Patience!)
