Purpose

The main purpose of this project is to document existing natural resources on the Schuchardt Farms property: upland/riparian/wetland plant communities (including forest stands), wildlife habitat, and aquatic resources. The information provided by surveyors from this project, as well as information from previous reports, will provide the basis for preparing a conservation plan, which will assist City of Sheboygan planners with selecting the most appropriate areas for conservation, restoration, and development. These data will also contribute to the overall knowledge of local natural resources, identify threats to these ecosystems, and providesuggestions for habitat improvements. Environmental surveys will be conducted at the Schuchardt Farms property with the following objectives: 1. Identify, describe, and assess plant communities. 2. Collect forest stand structure data. 3. Evaluate wetland functions 4. Assess fisheries and aquatic resources 5. Identify, describe and assess wildlife habitat 6. Identify stormwater Infiltration areas

Objective

Develop a Conservation Plan for Schuchardt Property

Outcome

A plan illustrating proposed conservation/restoration areas will be prepared with emphasis on current environmental conditions, existing habitat, potential impact to the environment based on site work, scenic views and values, and the effect conservation/restoration may have on the fisheries, wildlife, plant community and project identity.
