How this work is done

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

Steps

1. 1. Photograph the bare or non native covered stretch before starting, from the same trail vantage used in the survey.
2. 2. Confirm with the district ranger that the stretch is cleared for planting and that no cavity tree or active nest sits within the work area. This work never climbs a cavity tree, installs or inspects an artificial cavity insert, handles a restrictor plate, or approaches an active red cockaded woodpecker cavity at any skill level; cavity tree work is licensed biologist work performed under federal permit. This survey documents canopy age class, midstory structure, and snag presence only, and does not photograph, record, or otherwise disclose the location of any specific cavity tree.
3. 3. Hand dig planting holes for native little bluestem and companion bunchgrass species along the trail margin, staying on the trail adjacent ground layer only.
4. 4. Set the plants at grade, backfill, and water in, hand tools only, then photograph the finished planting.

What counts as done

• District ranger clearance and no cavity tree confirmation recorded
• Before photo of the bare or non native covered stretch
• Native bunchgrass species recorded
• Confirmation that no cavity tree was climbed, no artificial cavity insert was installed or inspected, no restrictor plate was handled, and no active red cockaded woodpecker cavity was approached at any skill level; that no specific cavity tree location was photographed, recorded, or otherwise disclosed; that all work stayed on the public trail, public forest road, a public building's grounds, or the resident's own property with consent; that current forest closures and burn notices were checked before starting; and that no work occurred beneath a standing snag inside the 30 foot stand off dist
• After photo of the planted, watered in stretch

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
