These projects ground the Brazilian pepper and smaller <br />Australian pines in place. The mulch was used to minimize erosion. A portion of the larger <br />Australian pines were killed using herbicides and left in place for perching sites. This plan included <br />engineered re -grading to create submergent and emergent wetlands. As part of the engineered <br />design, the soil balance for the site allowed for the creation of upland coastal hammock. The project <br />site was vegetated using a combination of planted nursery stock and natural recruitment. Desirable <br />cover of vegetation was achieved on this site within 3-5 years (the longer duration for upland <br />communities). <br />'Duck Head Island Monitoring <br />Photos <br />• <br />ham, 'ria <br />201ECurrent Cadeior0 t� t� e - <br />f a �0. - ti rj� <br />\ rs <br />'on ctatiA n+mual LLwaL peen 01000n$.7 <br />Loft Tree.
