The project’s goal is to maintain the healthy growth and ecological function of areas of newly planted Miyawaki (dense urban) forests. This effort requires a basic understanding of forest ecology, permaculture methods and plant identification. It consists of manual labor to hand pull invasive weeds and remove and dispose of them, cut and lay-down other weeds in place as mulch, spread compost mulch from onsite stockpiles to patch disturbed areas of soil, inspect and adjust temporary surficial drip tape irrigation, and report identified need for significant repairs to the project team. The contractor will work closely with the City’s project team - Department of Sustainability and Resilience (DSR) staff and a Landscape Architect from the BSC Group as the City’s representative - on all the tasks.
