1 Juneau Watershed Partnership Native Plant Resource Center Final Report A Partners for Fish and Wildlife Project Prepared for: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service For Grant #F11C00552 Prepared by: The Juneau Watershed Partnership Introduction a) Goal: The goal of this project is to test the feasibility of establishing a native plant resource center in Juneau. The purpose of the Center will be to provide the Juneau Fish and Wildlife Field Office (JFO) Habitat Restoration Program with a source of healthy and diverse plant species suitable for quickly establishing vegetation at restoration sites for the benefit of fish and wildlife. b) Location: The Native Plant Resource Center is sited on Southeast Alaska Land Trust (SEAL) property adjacent to Montana Creek. A description of the SEAL Trust property can be found at: Newsletter.pdf c) Project Summary: With Partners for Fish and Wildlife funds, the Juneau Field Office and Juneau Watershed Partnership partnered to create a Native Plant Resource Center on SEAL Trust property adjacent to Montana Creek. Labor for this project will be provided by young adults and staff from the Juneau Youth Services Transitional Living Program (TLP). The purpose of the Center is to establish a variety of native plants in containers from seed and cuttings. Additional plants will be salvaged from areas that are slated for development such as road and trail corridors and housing lots. Plant types will include grasses, sedges, wildflowers, ferns, shrubs, and trees. Grant funds will be used to purchase soil, tools, and seed, and other supplies. JFO and JWP will establish plants in raised soil beds or pots, care for plants, collect seed, and salvage plants from land development sites. JWP will also take part in revegetation projects. Establishment of the Native Plant Resource Center a) Plant procurement: native trees were salvaged from highway right of ways (Sitka spruce, western hemlock), gravel and sand quarries (red alder), and private properties (spruce and hemlock). Trees, including root systems, were removed from the soil using picks to break up the soil. Trees were Juneau Watershed Partnership Native Plant Resource Center Final Report Page 1 of 8
2 transported in buckets or tubs with their roots covered with water to reduce stress. Salvaged trees were planted in 0.7 gallon or larger plastic nursery pots containing topsoil. Pots were placed in rows and watered as necessary until planted on restoration sites. b) Plant Propagation: Willow (Salix spp.) and black cottonwood trees were established in 0.7 gallon plastic pots at the nursery in Cuttings were collected from dormant (early spring) and actively growing (summer) trees. Cuttings were 25 to 45 cm long and 13 to 35 mm in diameter. All leaves or leaf buds were trimmed from cuttings with the exception of 3-5 leaves or leaf buds that were left near the tops of willow cuttings and a single leaf bud or 2 leaves near the top of cottonwood cuttings. A single cutting was place in a pot that was filled with soil to within 1 inch of the pot rim. Cuttings were pushed into the soil until the butt end contacted the bottom of the pot. The cuttings were watered as necessary to keep the soil moist for at least 6 weeks. Cuttings collected from leafed-out trees were potted and then placed in shallow pans of water to ensure a constant supply of moisture to the developing root systems. c) Other Supplies: Pots were purchased or used pots (more than 500) were donated to the facility by the CBJ and private citizens. Topsoil was purchased at a reduced rate or donated by local contractors Juneau Watershed Partnership Native Plant Resource Center Final Report Page 2 of 8

4 Projects Plants stored at the Native Plant Resource Center were used in several riparian revegetation projects in Juneau, Alaska as described below. As an ecotone habitat with both upland and aquatic characteristics, riparian zones exhibit levels of biodiversity and productivity that are disproportionately high relative to their size. In addition to providing habitat for birds, mammals, and invertebrates, riparian areas subsidize aquatic food webs; provide bank stability, shade, and cover; contribute large wood, invertebrates, and particulate organic matter to stream channels; recycle nutrients; and provide a buffer between upland land developments and sensitive aquatic habitat. For these reasons, it is important to re-establish the native plant community in impacted riparian areas to maintain the functions and values of the stream corridor. However, it is common practice to stabilize stream banks with riprap, which can remain unvegetated for decades if left to be reestablished naturally. Although some revetments in Juneau have been partially vegetated, most consist of bare rock with little woody or herbaceous vegetation coverage. Yet, native vegetation can be established on revetments if soil is placed and native species are planted on the revetments, as was done in the projects described here. The ability of the plants from the Native Plant Resource Center to survive after being utilized in such projects is a testament of the success of the Center, and will demonstrate that the practice of revegetating revetments can be successful in restoring riparian habitat. The photo documentation provided as part of each project description is a demonstration of this success. Juneau Watershed Partnership Native Plant Resource Center Final Report Page 4 of 8
5 b) Bear Property Revegetation Spruce, alder, and hemlock trees salvaged in 2011 were potted and held at the Center over winter and then used to restore riparian habitat at the site of a house demolition on the banks of Montana Creek in July Sixty-four red alder and more than 30 spruce and hemlock trees from the Center were planted at the site.

6 d) Riverbend Revetment Riparian Enhancement, Mendenhall River The goal of this project was to establish native plant community on the revetment constructed on the Mendenhall River at Postal Way (Alaska Housing Finance Corporation) in order to restore riparian functions at this location. As part of this project, a total of 260 trees including 112 cottonwoods, 70 Sitka Spruce, 39 willow, 3 hemlocks, and 36 red alders, from the Native Plant Resource Center were planted at the site. This project got some local attention in an article published in the Juneau Empire: Survival of plantings will be evaluated in spring In late winter 2014, it was evident that some of the cottonwood trees had been damaged by rodents.

7 e) Jordan Creek Riparian Enhancement The goal of this project was to establish a native plant community in order to restore riparian functions where bridge construction at Jordan Ave. removed riparian vegetation and armored approximately 1,500 sq. ft. of riparian habitat along Jordan Creek, a State of Alaska designated impaired waterbody. The project was identified and planned by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) staff. Implementation was jointly managed by the USFWS and Juneau Watershed Partnership (JWP) staff with field support from a 7- person Southeast Alaska Guidance Association (SAGA) AmeriCorps crew. On August 13, 2013, topsoil was placed in the riprap voids followed by planting native trees, including red alder, black cottonwood, Sitka spruce, and various willow species. Grass seed was applied to the soil to provide erosion control. The project will ultimately restore 600 square feet of riparian habitat. Restoring riparian habitat at this site will benefit coho, pink, and chum salmon, Dolly Varden char, and Coastal cutthroat trout as well as migratory songbirds and other wildlife species. Photo 1. Jordan Ave. bridge prior to soil placement. Photo 2. Jordan Ave. bridge during soil placement. Juneau Watershed Partnership Native Plant Resource Center Final Report Page 7 of 8
8 g) Trout Street Bridge Revegetation In July 2013, the Alaska Department of Transportation (DOT&PF) completed construction of a two-lane bridge over Jordan Creek at Trout Street in Juneau, Alaska. Jordan Creek, a State of Alaska designated impaired waterbody, contains spawning and rearing habitat for Dolly Varden char, Coastal cutthroat trout, and pink, coho and chum salmon. The Jordan Creek corridor is also utilized by river otter, barred owls, snowshoe hares, Alexander Archipelago wolves, and beaver along other wildlife species. The goal of this project was to establish a native plant community in order to restore riparian functions where bridge construction removed riparian vegetation along Jordan Creek. USFWS staff worked with DOT&PF environmental analysts and engineers to ensure restoration of riparian functions impacted during bridge construction. Riprap used to protect the bridge abutments was covered with soil and planted with grass and native tree species. In partnership with the Juneau Watershed Partnership (JWP), and with the assistance from Southeast Alaska Guidance Association (SAGA) AmeriCorps volunteers, 50 native trees were planted in August Willow and cottonwood trees were established in pots from dormant cuttings in partnership with JWP. These potted trees, as well as Sitka spruce and red alder salvaged from road right-of-ways and gravel pits, were planted in riparian areas next to the bridge. The project will ultimately restore 3,049 square feet of riparian habitat. Restoring riparian habitat at this site will benefit coho, pink, and chum salmon, Dolly Varden char, and Coastal cutthroat trout as well as migratory songbirds and other wildlife species. Photo 1.
