Concourse Lake Native Plant Park

Phase I (Initial Invasive Removal) – Summer and Fall 2025

The site was heavily impacted by woody species, primarily oak and black cherry, and by invasive

herbaceous plants, such as thistle and porcelain berry. The bulk of the invasive removal

was completed this past summer and fall.

Phase II (Second Round Invasive Removal) – Early Spring 2026

We are continuing to manage persistent woody growth, including oak saplings, black cherry,

and invasive porcelain berry vines, with additional invasive control work that occurred early in

spring 2026. Over the past several months, the FPC Landcare team has made significant

progress, removing large volumes of woody vegetation and herbaceous invasives, including

root systems.

Phase III (Plant Installation) – May 2026

To date, we have installed more than 2,280 plugs along with 100 native plant bulbs. Please see

the following plant list. Overall, Phase III (plant installation) is approximately 95% complete.

The remaining plants (fewer than 130) are currently being maintained under controlled

conditions and will be installed shortly.
