This is critical in the first three to five years and should be recognized as a <br /> component to the success of the wetland mitigation and buffer areas. Management will <br /> include both eli.minating non-native and invasive vegetation along with creating ideal <br /> conditions for native plants to flourish. <br /> Some invasive plants are strong competitors and without management, could hamper <br /> establishment the native planting. Invasive wetland species such as purple loosestrife, <br /> reed canary grass, and cattail exist in many urban wetlands and may contribute seed to <br /> the restored area. <br /> Non-native plant removaUmanagement and careful monitoring is vital during the early <br /> stages of the mitigation project. As native plants slowly grow and spread over the years, <br /> and as thatch builds,the site will become less vulnerable to non-native and invasive <br /> species. Without non-native and invasive plant removaUmanagement it is highly unlikely <br /> that a diverse native plant community will become established. <br />
