Adaptation | 3.0 | Please describe the main actions you are taking to reduce the risk to, and vulnerability of, your city’s infrastructure, services, citizens, and businesses from climate change as identified in the Climate Hazards section. | 8 | Action description and implementation progress | 2 | Stewardship of the Ardsley Wildlife Sanctuary is a top priority for the Abington Township Shade Tree Commission (STC). This 81-acre tract of land was obtained by the township in 1996 utilizing Montgomery County open space money to fund 90% of the purchase. Throughout the property there are wetlands, water bodies and steep slopes. Over 85% is woodlands. In addition, the township has made significant investment to upgrade the regional storm water management system. The STC in partnership with township staff, and with assistance from DCNR, PA Forest Stewards, the PA Game Commission, the Western PA Conservancy, and the PA Reptile and Amphibian and Reptile Survey, created a master stewardship plan in 2015 to guide implementation of the township land management plan created in 2008. Details can be found at: https://www.abington.org/government/shade-tree-commission/ardsley-wildlife-sanctuary. Two major projects are now in the construction phase, in fulfilment of this stewardship plan.1. The Maple Avenue Entrance: Accessible Nature Trail and Forest RestorationFunded by a PA C2P2 grant, Land Concepts created a professional design to enhance public enjoyment and appreciation of the natural environment in the vicinity of the main entrance off of Maple Avenue. Public input was gathered through focus groups held in 2016-2017. This design respects previously-installed storm water management berms. Project goals are accessibility, forest restoration and ongoing stewardship. The construction project was publicly bid, and the contract was awarded to Think Green. Key project milestones include:Removal of construction debris and clearing of invasive vines and dead trees in the area to be reforested (completed)Installation of an ADA-accessible walking path that provides a firm and stable surface to explore and view a range of habitat including new and establish woodlands, vernal pools and a meadow. The trail will be crusher stone on the flat portions, and paved surface on the slopes, to protect against forces of erosion. Rough grading took place followed by paving, final grading and seeding.Installation of a deer exclusion fence surrounding the area to be reforested: This is necessary to protect newly planted trees and shrubs from deer browse and rubbing until they are established. Installation is about to commence.Reforestation planting includes 12 mature trees, 140 shrubs, and 70 whips that will mature into canopy trees and 70 into understory trees. Planting will be done by a mix of Think Green, STC and volunteers throughout the 2019 planting season.Habitat enhancement includes invasive plants in the vicinity of the trail, and seeding with Deer Resistance meadow mix. Clearing and seeding has begun. | |||
