[CANUFNET] Mitigation planting in remote areas

[Mark Carroll]

You can use an 8 inch gas powered auger, like you would use for icefishing holes or for post holes. You may not need soil as native soils are best for planting. If you use the soil from the pots and the holes, you should have enough soil. The only thing you may need is mulch. You can carry in bagged mulch. Use as natural a mulch as possible. Don't forget to water the plants once planted. Hope this helps....

HI Everyone,
 
I am planning to construct a boat launch in one of my waterfront parks this spring. I have been working with DFO in order to get the appropriate permits and approvals to construct and one of the stipulations is a significant mitigation planting to offset the removal of the foreshore area. I have found 2 locations in other parks that meet the criteria for mitigation planting, however they are fairly remote in terms of having equipment present to help with this planting.
 
My question is, is there an easy way to complete the planting of ~700 small shrubs in 1-2 gal pots and 50 trees in 2 gal pots?
 
I have lined up a school group to come help plant, and im thinking having them dig the holes will likely be too much, however I don’t think I will be able to get machinery onto the beach for multiple reasons. Im not even sure if I can get soil dropped close to the planting site.
 
Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
 
Thanks in advance,
