ZZCCMMCMX Permanent Grassland Seed Mixture The permanent grassland seed mixture (Table 2) will be used to establish permanent vegetation in upland reclamation areas in conjunction with the shrub/forb island seed mixture. The shrub/forb island mixture will produce patches of higher density shrubs and forbs which provide cover and food sources for different animal species than the grass -dominated areas. This seed mixture will be broadcast at a target rate of 75 pure live seeds per square foot (PIS/sf). Alternate plant species are presented in Table S.
