Enhancement and Restoration of Live Oak Resources <br /> Fairways 8, 9, 11, 12, and 13 are found within the live oak woodland. To facilitate <br /> golfing, a 50 foot zone alongside the fairways has been cleared of certain plant species, <br /> such as poison oak and wild grape. In order to provide compatible wildlife habitat within <br /> these areas, we propose either protecting the protecting the existing seedlings or replanting <br /> these areas with seedlings that will attain intermediate or large tree status, such as live oak, <br /> valley oak, ash, and box elder. <br /> 8.11 Enhancement and Restoration of Grasslands in Relation to Golfing <br /> The biggest single impact to the landscape will be the loss of grassland habitat. Even so, <br /> this amounts to only about 53 acres. Since this habitat loss cannot be entirely replaced,it <br /> will in part be mitigated by restoration of remaining grasslands with native species. It is <br /> noteworthy to reminder that the existing, annual grassland areas are dominated mostly by <br /> exotic species that are not native to the site. Existing annual grasslands will be replaced <br /> with fairway, short rough, long rough, and restored native perennial bunchgrasses. <br /> Short rough habitats will occupy areas immediately outside existing fairways. They will be <br /> planted with a variety of fescues, etc. <br /> Long rough-native bunchgrass areas lie immediately outside short rough. The long rough <br /> and natural grass areas will be enhanced and restored with a number of native and drought <br /> tolerant perennial grasses such as needle-grass,fescue, and brome. They will be managed <br /> by mowing to a height of approximately 2-10 inches. <br /> Buckeye Ranch Resource Plan (November, 1993) <br /> 222 <br />
