Field Practices: Hands-on Restoration Implementation and Maintenance

Following the Nuts and Bolts of Restoration workshop we held earlier this year, this workshop will show attendees how to do site preparation, implementation, and maintenance.

Attendees will get to see pieces of equipment for tilling, seeding, and maintenance. We will also cover calibration of seeding implements and if allowed conduct a small burn.

Topics covered:

Soil preparation (tilling, burning) including morning talk by UC Davis Soil Scientist Vic Claassen
Seed selection including seed samples from Hedgerow Farms
Grass plug planting
Seed drilling and broadcast seeding using Truax equipment
Maintenance: mowing, grazing, burning, spraying, etc.

Time and conditions allowed, a short visit to an existing grassland will be scheduled at the end of the day.

CNGA Thanks Workshop Sponsor Truax Company, Inc.

Instructors:

Vic Claassen, UC Davis Land, Air and Water Resources
