Planting <br />of containeri7td seedling stock is one technique recomrttended. Adding pinion andjuniper to the above seed mix is <br />also an option. The seedling stock should be planted with rodent guards to minimize damage by small mammals. <br />Protection from muk deer is a major considtration. Planting the seedling stock within the downed dcad frees xill <br />provide protection for the seedlings from deer. Pirtion are less drought tolerant thar.juniper, and should be planted <br />where there is greater soil tnoismre within the shade of the downed ttees and the teaace bottoms. Plant pees in a <br />somnvhat random pattern to blend in with the surrounding landscape. A combination of seed and seedlings may <br />result and a better chance of establishment. <br />If you Lave any questions or need additional information, please give me a call. <br />Sincerely, /,J~ <br />~/L~ <br />Steve Woodis <br />Wildlife Biologist <br />The Natural Resourres Conservatlon Service nuns in DaMersrip with tFe American People <br />b conserve and sustain nataal rew~mm on private lands.
