Bald Hills Vegetation Management Plan
Redwood National Park. 1992. Bald Hills Vegetation Management Plan. Redwood National Park
The beginning section of this plan describes the soils, vegetation, and wildlife of the Bald Hills section of Redwood National Park, California. Three primary problems in management of this area are encroachment of Douglas-fir, non-native species replacing native ones, and decreasing habitat for wildlife. An extensive list of management strategies that may be used includes exotic plant control and restoration of native species, prescribed burning, elk management, and more. The proposed management plan outlines activities and priorities for the various units. Vegetation types and management categories for each of the 13 units within the Bald Hills are shown on colored maps. Previous research is discussed, along with current monitoring and research needs. Among the 8 appendices are extensive plant species lists for prairie and oak woodland, and comparison of species composition of 5 Bald Hills prairies (Hektner, Grenier). The wildlife species list includes mammals, amphibians and reptiles, and birds. The document also includes a section on Environmental Compliance and contains a copy of the Finding of No Significant Impact in the appendix.
