On the timeline, I was surprised to see that the replanting won’t start until the rest of the project is complete, why aren’t replantings starting sooner?

Some replanting may occur in Spring 2023, though Fall 2023 will have a larger planting effort. Native plantings will be able to better establish in cleared areas if planted in fall. We will also be monitoring native seedbank germination and managing invasive weeds in Spring 2023, which may impact planting plans. We are working to create a Management plan that will identify a specific replanting plan. Plantings will be from the City of Lake Oswego’s native plant list.
