Manage 20 species of non-native invasive flora within a 50-acre farm and a 57-acre wetland restoration site, in which invasive plant seeds that had been lying dormant are now exposed due to the disturbed soil from the restoration work. The project will treat and reduce coverage of the non-native species across more than 100 acres, including within 12.5 acres of anticipated wetlands, to limmit future growth of invasive species and improve water quality downstream.
