Diffuse knapweed plants were noted again in the traditional areas northwest of the road in the vicinity <br />of the Area W-5/C-1 boundary. Numerous areas were sprayed last year as noted in the 2008 report <br />although Area W-5 was not one of them. Please ensure that timely weed control measures are taken <br />before plants flower and set seeds in the late spring. <br />The enclosure of shrub transplants was traversed. Inspection of individual plants found only eight that <br />appeared live and showing signs of new growth for the season of at least three different varieties. A <br />total of 40-50 were viewed, indicating a substantial mortality of transplanted shrubs since planting in <br />2009. The operator may want to consider replacing/adding transplanted shrubs this growing season. <br />Overall, the site appeared in excellent condition for the spring season. Shrub transplants excluded, <br />revegetation efforts appear to be showing signs of long-term success after the last major seeding <br />done in 2007. <br />6 <br />Above: Knapweed plant observed in Area W-5/C-1 vicinity
