Plant salt-tolerant native vegetation on the shoreline upland, Paul's Lake Overlook, bed 3.

The survey above found bare ground on the shoreline upland at Paul's Lake Overlook, and planting native salt-tolerant vegetation stabilizes the margin and supports the wetland-edge habitat this saline playa lake provides for wintering wildlife.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Steps

1. 1. Confirm current public access rules, visiting hours, and any seasonal closures with Muleshoe National Wildlife Refuge staff (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service) before visiting; refuge hunting programs and seasonal or weather-related closures can change which areas and roads are open to the public. Confirm the planting scope with Muleshoe National Wildlife Refuge staff before starting.
2. 2. Photograph the bare shoreline-upland margin before starting, from the same vantage used in the survey.
3. 3. Hand dig planting holes for native salt-tolerant vegetation (inland saltgrass, alkali sacaton) on the shoreline upland only, staying well back from the playa lake bed at all times.
4. 4. Set the plants at grade, backfill, and water in, hand tools only, then photograph the finished planting.

What counts as done

• Confirmation the planting was coordinated with Muleshoe National Wildlife Refuge staff
• Before photo of the bare shoreline-upland margin
• Native species recorded (inland saltgrass, alkali sacaton, or equivalent salt-tolerant native)
• Confirmation the entire survey or work stayed on the refuge's designated public overlook, the auto-tour route, or a public road; that no playa lake bed was walked onto; that no crane roost or feeding flock was approached, called to, played back to, droned, or flash-photographed; and that no water or sediment sample was collected from a saline playa lake.
• After photo of the planted, watered-in shoreline upland

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
