Wildlife Habitat Improvement
Invertebrate (Insect, Crustacean) Habitat Restoration
The habitat component of this project consists of two hedgerows. The first and largest hedgerow is a 2,022ft hedgerow that includes only large shrub species. This hedgerow will have 10ft centers and 1gal emitters for every plant and will require a total of 202 plants. The second hedgerow/habitat area measures a total of 270ft and will require a total of 45 plants. The purpose of this hedgerow is to beautify the street side for the community at the same time as providing diverse pollinator habitat. Other potential practices for pollinator habitat and to help mitigate dust and drift into the neighboring community include seeding a cover crop throughout the orchard.
