Drilling of the seed has been considered and rejected for <br />two reasons. First, most drills would be all but destroyed in the rocky <br />medium and the rangeland drills that can be used are very cumbersome <br />and are generally incapable of properly planting fluffy seeds without <br />being mixed with large, smooth seeds like oats.'. Second, the slopes are <br />so steep equipment operation would be very dangerous. <br />• After the seed has been broadcast the seeded area will be <br />dragged lightly to bury the seed. In this medium much of the seed will <br />be placed between 1/2 and 1 inch deep using this method. <br />Irrigation - No irrigation will be used on the site. It is believed <br />that the natural precipitation combined with the east facing slope will <br />provide a suitable moisture regime for establishing the planned <br />vegetation. <br />woody Vegetation - Woody vegetation will be most difficult to <br />establish. Seeding of shrubs would probably not be successful in the <br />long run, although some tests of such may be done. Generally, any <br />woody vegetation will be planted as seedlings of transplants. <br />Species to be used will include Rhus trilobata (Skunkbrush), <br />• Cercocarpus montanus (Mountain Mahogany), Rosa woodsii (Wood Rose), and <br />Chrysothamnus auseosus (Rabbitbrush).
