BACKGROUND/PURPOSE:
As part of the Oakland County Park & Recreation Commission’s (OCPRC) Strategic Planning Objectives for Natural Resource Management of park lands, OCPRC Staff have developed a program for the removal of invasive plant species within natural areas of the park lands. OCPRC Staff complete this removal with the use of skid steer(s) with a ‘JAWZ’ attachment for pulling woody vegetation from the ground. OCPRC staff strategically locates pulled vegetation in various areas of the park for disposal by burning.
