This project is intended to remove built-up thatch produced from a large patch of treated creeping velvetgrass (Holcus mollis) by mowing, burning, and other actions and to revegetate these sites with native plants sourced exclusively from Marys Peak.
Location
The proposed footprint for prescribed fire is 1-2 acres just NW of the Marys Peak day use parking lot.
