Design Approach/Philosophy<br />

Agrarian, rural, and natural landscape should dictate the design solutions. Design elements should be<br />

subservient to the landscape. Proposed improvements should reflect stewardship of the land protecting<br />

and enhancing the environment.<br />

Site Specifics<br />

The <strong>Powers</strong> <strong>Farm</strong> site has a large surficial area that get<br />

inundated by storm waters. These seasonally wet areas<br />

make farming the land difficult. The idea of raised beds<br />

gardens allows this community park to relive its past li<br />

as a fully functioning farm on a micro scale. Elevating<br />

garden beds can facilitate a productive community farm<br />

kzla<br />

that serves as not only a place for viable local product<br />

but as a communal anchor firmly placed in <strong>Randolph</strong>s


<strong>MA</strong><br />

<strong>Community</strong> Supported Agriculture<br />

consists of a community of individuals who pledge support to<br />

a farm operation so that the farmland becomes, either legally<br />

or spiritually, the community’s farm, with the growers and<br />

consumers providing mutual support and sharing the risks<br />

and benefits of food production.<br />

make farming the land difficult. The idea of r<br />

gardens would allow this community park to rel<br />

<strong>Community</strong> Gardens<br />

“<strong>Community</strong> gardens are green spaces that are communally cultivated and cared for; these<br />

spaces may consist of individually worked plots, communally tended areas, sitting areas, and<br />

small-scale children’s play areas. They are the result of the shared collective effort of people<br />

working together.”<br />

**Always leave a 12 ‘ swath of un-mown meadow as a working habitat for existing flora and fauna. Cutting<br />

a whole meadow in one day can take away all the food needed by micro and Macro fauna. The best way to do<br />

this is to cut the edges of your grassland in rotation.<br />

<strong>Powers</strong> <strong>Farm</strong> EXISTING CONDITIONS: INVASIVE SPECIES<br />

Bobolinks and eastern meadowlarks build nests, raise young, and forage in hay fields, meadows, and pastures<br />

during the summer. Many birds of prey, such as American kestrels, northern harriers, and short-eared owls, rely on<br />

grasslands for hunting small mammals during summer or winter. Waterfowl and shorebirds sometimes feed in flooded<br />

portions of fields during migration. Grasslands also provide habitat to a variety of other wildlife, including mammals and<br />

many butterflies. Small mammals that inhabit fields, such as meadow voles and meadow jumping mice, are an important<br />

food source for many birds of prey. Larger mammals, such as white-tailed deer and red foxes, regularly visit grasslands for<br />

feeding. Butterflies, such as tiger swallowtails, monarchs, and fritillaries, can be found in fields feeding on wildflower nectar.<br />

NOTE:<br />

The entire plant shall be removed<br />

including the entirety of the root system.<br />

Celastrus often grows in the same<br />

environment with poison ivy.<br />

Smaller areas can be hand cut, dug, and<br />

harvested to reduce biomass<br />

NOTE:<br />

These areas can be covered by plastic to<br />

smother roots for a minimum of three<br />

seasons. This techniques works best<br />

when plants are cut to at least 4”.<br />

when plants are cut to at least 4”<br />

Cutting, Digging, Pulling<br />

NOTE:<br />

Smaller stands can be removed manually<br />

in this method when in areas that herbicides<br />

are not permitted. This method is<br />

labor intensive. Pulling is best when soil<br />

compaction is relatively light and ground<br />

is soft.<br />

Grubbing or pulling<br />

NOTE:<br />

Repetition of at least 4 times a year is<br />

required for this method. If entire root<br />

structure is not removed plants will re<br />

sprout.<br />

Hand pull small plants. Dig larger plants.<br />

NOTE:<br />

Repetition of at least 2 times a year is<br />

required for this method. This method<br />

promote vigorous re sprouting if not<br />

combined with herbicide.<br />

Mechanical<br />

Chemical<br />

Cutting vines at comfortable height will<br />

kill canopy infestations.<br />

NOTE:<br />

The entire plant shall be removed including<br />

the entirety of the root system to<br />

prohibit re-sprouting<br />

Herbicide methods<br />

-Foliar Treatment- glyphosate or tricflopyr<br />

-Cut Stem Treatments- glyphosate or tricflopyr<br />

ester<br />

-Basal Bark Method - tricflopyr ester<br />

NOTE:<br />

Application should be reserved for Fall<br />

and Winter to reduce impact on native<br />

species<br />

Mowing in areas with limited topography<br />

works well to reduce biomass. Mow<br />

multiple times annually.<br />

NOTE:<br />

A systematic combination of herbicides<br />

and mowing tend to have the greatest<br />

affects<br />

Herbicide methods<br />

-Foliar Treatment<br />

-Cut Stem Treatments<br />

-Bundle Cut Method<br />

June-September<br />

NOTE:<br />

Application should be reserved for late<br />

summer.<br />

Mowing is an ineffective method for the<br />

removal of these plants<br />

Herbicide methods<br />

-Foliar Treatment (spring)<br />

-Cut Stem Treatments _ aaquatic approved<br />

glyphosate<br />

-Basal Bark Method<br />

NOTE:<br />

Timing is important and is recommended<br />

before flowering<br />

Mowing, Cutting, Digging, Covering<br />

NOTE:<br />

Smaller stands (30 stems and below)<br />

can be removed by mowing if repeated<br />

monthly for three field seasons. Removal<br />

procedures should be carried out<br />

twice a month.<br />

Chemical application works best as a<br />

multi prong method with mowing.<br />

NOTE:<br />

Common Reed is best treated when 5’<br />

tall and retreated @ 3’ tall.<br />

Foliar<br />

spray with aminopyralid, imazapyr, glyphosate,<br />

or triclopyr. Cut-stump treat with<br />

glyphosate or triclopyr.<br />

A repetitive cutting method is suggested.<br />

Dig or pull using a tractor, ATV,<br />

or truck<br />

NOTE:<br />

Mowing of large swaths can result in<br />

flat tires. Filling tire with foam. Mow affected<br />

areas 3-6 times during the growing<br />

season for 2-4 years.<br />

Herbicide methods<br />

-Foliar Treatment (spring) metsulfuronmethyl,<br />

glyphosate, or triclopyr.<br />

-Cut Stem Treatments- glyphosate or tricflopyr<br />

-Basal Bark Method- tricflopyr ester<br />

NOTE:<br />

Application should be reserved for Fall<br />

and Winter to reduce impact on native<br />

species<br />

Cutting method must be repeated 2<br />

times a year.<br />

NOTE:<br />

This method alone is ineffective and<br />

must be combine with root removal to<br />

reduce sprouting. Removal in winter is<br />

strongly discouraged.<br />

Herbicide methods<br />

-Foliar Treatment<br />

-Cut Stem Treatments<br />

-Basal Bark Method (late Fall through<br />

Biological<br />

There are no known biological controls<br />

There are no known biological controls<br />

Biological control has been the most effective<br />

when trying to eradicate<br />

NOTE:<br />

Hylobius transversovittatus (A weevil),<br />

Galerucella calmariensis and G. pusilla<br />

two leaf eating beetles are being used to<br />

control stands of loosestrife.<br />

Grazing when plants are newly sprouting<br />

can help reduce biomass.<br />

NOTE:<br />

Goats although effective will eat wanted<br />

vegetation as well.<br />

Grazing when plants are newly sprouting<br />

can help reduce biomass.<br />

Research at West Virginia University suggests that the<br />

grazing of goats for two seasons at a rate of eight to ten<br />

goats per acre will be necessary to provide effective control.<br />

Ken Simeral, an Ohio extension agent, recommends<br />

raising angora goats to fight infestations of multiflora<br />

rose in pastures. An added benefit is the profits from 10 to<br />

30 lbs. of mohair produced per goat per year.<br />

Grazing when plants are newly sprouting<br />

can help reduce biomass<br />

Fire<br />

Burning of C. orbiculatus is not a viable<br />

option<br />

Burning methods have been shown to be<br />

effective in combination with chemical<br />

control<br />

NOTE:<br />

Due to site proximity to neighborhoods<br />

Fire control is not recommended<br />

Burning of L. salicria is not a viable option<br />

Burning of P. cuspidatum is not a viable<br />

option<br />

Burning of R. multiflora is not a viable<br />
