If applicable list species that will <br /> benefit from the project) <br /> The purpose of this project is to restore and improve wetland habitat for plants, pollinators, grassland <br /> birds, and associated species, by conducting on- the - ground infrastructure improvements, invasive <br /> species control, and seeding with native plant species on 0 & C and associated lands in the West <br /> Eugene Wetlands. <br /> Project Goals & Objectives: <br /> A. Improve the quality of wetlands on the North and South Taylor and Long Tom ACEC through <br /> exclusion of trespass livestock and removal of nonnative invasive species. <br /> 1. Repair boundary fences and gates to ensure livestock are excluded from the North Taylor and <br /> Taylor South wetlands. <br /> 2. Remove invasive nonnative and woody plant species from wetland prairies of North and South <br /> Taylor and from endangered plant habitat in the Long Tom ACEC. <br /> B. Enhance wetland habitats at North and South Taylor and the Long Tom ACEC and other lands in <br /> the West Eugene Wetlands for rare wetland plants, pollinators, grassland birds, and associated <br /> species, through the addition of native seed of diverse, locally- adapted species to compete with <br /> nonnative invasive species and to bolster populations of native species degraded in the past by <br /> trespass livestock. <br /> 1. Coordinate the West Eugene Wetlands plant materials program and collect seed of specific <br /> native species from wetland remnants to maintain genetically diverse seed production at local <br /> nurseries. This program will provide native plant materials for enhancement actions at North & <br /> South Taylor, the Long Tom ACEC, and on other partner lands in the WEW. <br /> 2. Create site - specific mixes of locally adapted native seeds using seed purchased via the WEW <br /> plant materials program. Distribute native seed in areas treated for weed control at North and <br /> South Taylor, the Long Tom ACEC, and other wetlands in the West Eugene area. <br /> 1 of16 <br />
