Category Overview
The State Lands Restoration and Enhancement category provides funding to two state agencies to help repair damaged plant and animal habitat. These grants focus on resource preservation and protection of public lands. Projects in this category help bring important natural areas and resources back to their original functions by improving the self sustaining and ecological functionality of sites.
Project Highlights
9 acres of balds were restored by controlling exotic invasive plants and augmenting native plant populations through seeding and limited plug planting. Approximately 40 acres of trailside invasive hawkweed (Hieracium lachenalii) was also controlled. Lessons learned were documented and recommendations were developed to guide future management actions.
