1 Riparian Buffer Planting Project 2018 Skaneateles Lake Watershed Species Selection Guide: Site 1 Photo by Prairie Moon Nursery This guide includes a brief planting rationale with species guide covering the nine species planted at the site. Location: lakefront residence, north-western shoreline West Lake Road, Skaneateles Lake, Skaneateles Total # of shrubs, trees, ferns, grasses, and perennials planted: 200 (potted) Total planting area: 1320 sq. ft. 1
2 Riparian Buffer Planting Project 2018 Skaneateles Lake Watershed This planting project is result of a partnership between Cornell Cooperative Extension Onondaga County (CCE), the City of Syracuse, and Onondaga County Soil and Water Conservation District (OCSWCD) with funds from the Skaneateles Lake Watershed Agricultural Program (SLWAP) to reduce non-point source pollution to Skaneateles Lake by increasing vegetated riparian buffers to properties in the watershed. Stock was sourced from White Oak Nursery, Geneva NY. Special thanks to Jim Engel and White Oak Nursery for your time and expertise supporting this effort. Funding for plant stock and materials provided by the SLWAP and OCSWCD. Funding for CCE programming in the Skaneateles Watershed is provided by the City of Syracuse Water Department. This project wouldn t be possible without the support of the community and the stewardship of the participating property owners. Many thanks to the property owners, our volunteers, the Skaneateles Lake Association, The Nature Conservancy, and SUNY ESF, and all our watershed partners. For more information about the project, please Shannon Fabiani, CCE Onondaga at slf226@cornell.edu Local volunteers and CCE educators in front of one of two completed vegetated buffers added to this shoreline property. In the coming seasons, we ll be able to see much more foliage of the 100+ individual plants now rooted in this bed! 2
3 Planting Rationale Taking into account soil moisture and composition, shade conditions, and other factors of the landscape majority of which are referenced in this guide- the planting plan and species list was designed by a SUNY ESF Landscape Architect student intern, Ethan Appelgren, with support from Extension educators. Special thanks to Ethan and SUNY ESF. Two planting beds and a total of 200 root systems, all of which grow deeper and denser than the existing turf grass, were added to the property. Both bed locations and species selection were designed to maximize effectiveness and impact of additional root structures and added vegetation on reducing non-point source pollution to the lake given layout, slope, and conditions of the site. Species selected are all native to the region and zone they are planted in. The design also took into account the property owners needs and maintenance capacity, their current and desired land use, and their aesthetic preferences like view-shed of the lake. All CCE project site designs must also factor cost, resources associated with project, and available nursery stock. Planting dates including site prep: 2 (11/16/18 and 11/19/18). Total volunteers involved: 23 participants (approximately 10 volunteers per day). Please see references on the last page for some of the resources used in this project.
