Workzone G1.1.3 Report
Updated 12/14/2023

Summary

This acre field consists primarily of goldenrod and boneset. Several trees and shrubs are scattered across the field, including black walnut, dogwood, honeysuckle, ash, and crab apple, all of which will be removed in favor of "prairie". The tree along side the road is a red pine. Problem species include cutleaf teasel and a small patch of reed canary grass along the mowed trailed.
