Grassland Ecosystem Management Plan for the Oak Ridge Reservation
- Oak Ridge National Lab. (ORNL), Oak Ridge, TN (United States)
Land managers at the Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in East Tennessee are restoring native warm-season grasses and wildflowers to various sites across the Oak Ridge Reservation (ORR). Some of the numerous benefits to planting native grasses and forbs include improved habitat quality for wildlife, improved aesthetic values, and lower long-term maintenance costs. Native grassland restorations also help meet the goals of two recent presidential memorandums: “Incorporating Ecosystem Services into Federal Decision Making” and “Creating a Federal Strategy to Promote the Health of Honey Bees and Other Pollinators.”
