The objectives of this section of the WMP are to address areas of concern relating to vegetation and wetlands within the watershed.   Issues relating to vegetation may include the following:

•  Establishment or improvement of vegetation in the riparian zone

•  Control of invasive plant species within the watershed

•  Protection of endangered plant species (if any are identified/located)

Issues relating to wetlands may include:

•  Protection of wetland areas that remain within the watershed

•  Maintenance and improvement of wetland mitigation sites within the watershed (Wal-Mart)

Action plans to be implemented that will address these issues may include an invasive plant species removal and maintenance plan, a plan for stream bank stabilization through establishing native vegetation, an endangered plant species protection plan and a plan to maintain wetland quality throughout the watershed (native and mitigation wetlands).   Timelines and proposed budgets/funding will be provided for each action plan. Ideally, public participation and/or education will also be incorporated.
