Field Assignment

This week, the Urban Forestry Watershed Manual showed the use of a site sketch (on page 16). This is a type of tool that allows a land manager to assess the basics of a particular site. For this assignment, find a site where you can utilize such a tool to make suggestions for site improvements using native plant materials, such as those found at websites such as the USDA-NRCS. (This was the source for the American Black Currant sheet reviewed this week)

For this assignment identify a specific site and prepare a “site sketch” that includes new plant materials to improve the conservation needs of the site. Explain the specific benefits of each plant (i.e. water conservation, pollinator benefit, etc.).

Save your work (report and sketch) on your computer. Submit your document in the Dropbox found on the Course Home page.
