<br /> <br />~i <br />DRY MEADOW REFERENCE AREA <br />Management Plan <br />Introduction <br /> <br />The Dry Meadow reference area in Sylvester Gulch <br />a Mountain Brush type vegetation. The wood <br />surrounding community may tend to encroach o <br />Community. This plan will ensure long term <br />maintenance of the Dry Meadow reference area. <br />Plan <br />~II ~I~II~II~II~~II~ <br />999 <br />is surrounded by <br />y plants in this <br />n the Dry Meadow <br />woody plant free <br />This plan proposes that four photographic points be established <br />within the Dry Meadow reference area in such a way, as to view <br />the total area. (See map). These photographs will allow an <br />year-to-year comparison to determine woody species encroachment. <br />Methods <br />In September of each year, a 35 mm camera will be placed on a <br />post at each of the four (4) photo points. Pictures will be <br />taken North, South, East and West. Four photographs from each <br />location within the reference area should provide sufficient <br />record to determine woody encroachment. <br />If shrubs begin to invade the Meadow they can be removed by one <br />of four methods. <br />1) Mechanical-saws-shovels, prunning tools, etc. <br />2) Chemical-by use of any approved herbicide. <br />3) Fire-small localized burns on individual plants. <br />4) Combination of above is needed. <br />
