species planting of some grass species contained in the above mixes <br /> as well as a variety of other grass species were used in test plots. <br /> Single species planting is preferred due to the ease of evaluating <br /> the performance of a desired species. Species other than those con- <br /> tained in the Alpine Mix or Mountain Mix were employed this year for <br /> two reasons: <br /> 1. To achieve a greater seeding species diversity than that <br /> offered by the above mixes. <br /> 2. To formulate a seed mix with a higher percentage of <br /> indigenous species. <br /> The species of vegetation and corresponding acreages planted during <br /> 1977 is as follows: (See Map 3 for location.) <br /> Grasses <br /> Mountain Mix 1 acre <br /> Alpine Mix 1 acre <br /> Shrubs <br /> Willow (Salix spp) 2 acres <br /> The species of vegetation and dates of planting for 1978 is as follows: <br /> (See Map 3 for location.) <br /> Grasses (Species) Date Planted <br /> 1.
