8.9 Monitoring <br /> It is important initially to strike a balance between under- and over-planning. Under- <br /> planning for some of the anticipated impacts may result in unforeseen damage; <br /> overplanning might result in the placement of"protection" where it is unnecessary. It is <br /> proposed that a survey be conducted of golfing impacts to the natural areas after a 6- and <br /> 12-month periods following the opening of the course, after which recommendations for <br /> protective measures be developed, if necessary. <br /> 8.10 Tree Planting Techniques for Oak Woodland Areas <br /> In the context of tree planting in golf course areas,protecting small exposed trees from <br /> golfers, golf carts, and mowers is critical. The range of protection includes stabilizing <br /> posts and other more elaborate means. <br /> Tree Restoration in Relation to Golfing Activities <br /> In areas that are near golfing activities, live trees may be planted. Banded trees (oaks) in <br /> 10-inch-deep pots grown from locally adapted ecotypes will be repotted (fall 1993)in 5- <br /> gallon containers and grown to a height of 3-6 feet before planting in 1994. <br /> Where immediate screening is needed, then on-site trees will be moved with a tree-spade to <br /> provide an "instant tree". Trees up to 6-8 inches in diameter can be safely transplanted, <br /> provided adequate measures are taken. <br /> Buckeye Ranch Resource Plan (November, 1993) <br /> 221 <br />
