Tree/Shrub Plenting
In order to establish a more diverse habitat for wildlife and waterfowl, tree and shrub
planting will be introduced. In cooperation with the Colorado Division of Wildlife, the
following list of plant material has been selected for wildlife habitat.
TREES
Common Name Botanical Name ~ Remarks
Lacebark Elm Ulmus parifolia 10-30" Seedling/BR
Hackberry Celtis Occidentalis 10-30" Seedling/BR
Hybrid Cottonwood Populus deltoides var.' noreaster 10-30" Seedling/BR
Golden Willow Salix alba vitellina 10-30" Seedling/BR
Eastern Red Cedar Juniperus virginiana 5-12" Seedling/BR
Pondersa Pine Pinus ponderosa 5-12" Seedling/BR
HS RUBS
Common Name Botanical Name ~i g m rk
Chokecherry Prunus virginiana 5-12" Seedling/1"pot
American Plum Prunus americana 5-12" Seedlingli"pot
Oual Bush (sumac) Rhus trilobata 5-12" Seedlingll"pot
Serviceberry Amelanchier alnifolia 5-12" Seedling/1"pot
Buffalo Berry Shepherdia agrentea 5-12" Seedling/1"pot
Woods Rose Rosa woodsi 5-12" Seedling/1"pot
Fourwing Saltbush Artiplex canscens 5-12" Seedling/1"pot
The sapling/seedling to be planted will mainly be placed along the reclaimed shoreline in
minimum clusters of three to five plants (spaced a minimum of eight to ten feet on
center). This will allow for a more natural revegetation of the lake/pond shoreline areas.
A tree/shrub nursery or holding area could be established on-site to provide plant material
for reclamation of the lake areas which will become future wildlife habitat. Seedlings for
spring planting can also be obtained from the Colorado State Forest Service in quantities
large enough to revegetate a lake area in one planting.
Wetland Snscles
In conjunction with the grass seeding and tree/shrub planting, wetland species will be
introduced along the shoreline of the proposed lakes once final grading has been
accomplished. An underwater terrace area of 10 to 20 feet immediately along the 20%
of the edge of each lake shoreline will allow for public safety as well as an area for
introduction of wetland plants. The underwater terrace will separate the shoreline area
from the deeper areas of the proposed lakes and ponds.
