Tasks and Timeline. The Forest Service agrees to financially support the restoration activities outlined in the detailed table below. The expenditure will not exceed $75,000 for this ‘trial’ or ‘pilot’ year. This financial support will be evaluated annually within the performance reporting mechanisms in the GNA agreement. Adjustments to this support will be made accordingly. Annually, the workload for this project will include a work plan report or similar. The work plan report is suggested to include both direct work plan accomplishments and narrative reports on important areas of work accomplished deemed by mutual agreement. This annual report will aid the State in documenting the accomplishments of this project in supporting Forest Service goals, objectives, and guidelines. The tasks and general timeline for this project are as follows: Timeline Task Description March – April Suggested time to review applications and hire seasonal staff for the upcoming field season. May – September Seasonal field staff placed on the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest and assist Forest Service (FS) staff with accomplishing tasks and projects.

Tasks and Timeline. Deliverables: • Project 1 & 2: The NHC will submit a “check up” form for each site visited in the Laona- Lakewood District to CNNF. The focus of these forms is to identify any disturbances, particularly from human use but also natural disturbances such as windthrow. NHC will also submit rare plant reports on any CNNF sensitive species revisited in 2019, including any previously unknown populations. NHC will use a rare plant form designed by NHC. The CNNF will provide: o Chequamegon Rare Plant Survey: Estimated Start: April 2020 Estimated Completion: December 2021 ▪ A list and maps for the Xxxxxxxx District natural areas (attached) ▪ Locator map of natural areas on the Chequamegon side (attached) ▪ Rare plant trend information (attached) ▪ List of rare plants that occur in natural areas on the Xxxxxxxx District (attached) ▪ Geodatabase with rare plant occurrences. (attached) ▪ Template/form for reporting natural area conditions. (attached) ▪ Past natural area check-up forms for reference. (attached) ▪ A USFS Yale key for access (requires the State to sign a USDA-Forest Service Personal Custody Property Receipt and acknowledge financial responsibility for the value of items lost or damaged). o Nicolet Rare Plant Survey: ▪ Locator map of natural areas on Nicolet side (Eagle River-Xxxxxxxx and Laona- Lakewood Districts (attached) ▪ List of rare plants that occur in natural areas on LA-LK District (attached) ▪ List of rare plants that occur in natural areas on LA-LK District (attached) • Project 3: NHC will provide a list of aquatic species and relative abundance of that species for each lake surveyed (noting invasive species). The CNNF will provide: o Surveys for both non-native and native plants in 91 lakes greater than 10 acres that are within or adjacent to designated natural areas on the Eagle River-Xxxxxxxx Ranger Districts. List of lakes to be surveyed (attached).
