308 <br /> 35. Use native species known to occur in Orange County to seed disturbed areas.Avoid using invasive, non-native <br /> plants in seed mixtures or landscaping plants(http://www.ncwiLdfLower.org//plant galleries/invasives_list).Also, <br /> do not use non-native and/or invasive species such as Sudangrass, Kobe lespedeza, lespedeza,tall fescue, or <br /> other non-native species for temporary or permanent seeding.Alternatively, use grains,such as oats,wheat,or <br /> rye for temporary cover and native seed mixes for permeant seeding. <br /> A list of alternatives to non-native species has been attached.We recommend planting native,wildflower seed <br /> mixes that will create pollinator habitat within the project boundary as well as planting native trees and shrubs in <br /> landscaping. Native trees and shrubs can be found at native plant nurseries throughout NC, and lists of native <br /> plants can be found https://ncwildfLower.org/and https://nc.audubon.org/birdfriendlynativepLantsLists. <br /> RECOMMENDED NATIVE ALTERNATIVES FOR NON-NATIVE GRASSES L; <br /> NORTH CAROLD:A•• <br /> (Species are appropriate for all geographic regions unless othern•ise indicated) <br /> NON-NATIVE SPECIES NATIVE SPECIES <br /> Big bluestem Andropogon gerardir <br /> Lurie bluestem Schizach'inum scopar om <br /> Indiangrass Sorgha:rrum nuran: <br /> CTo'i n--etch Switchgrass Panicum i irgarum <br /> Centipede Beaked paniegrass Panicum ancep: <br /> Bermuda Purpletop Trrden:9arrr: <br /> Roundheaded bushclo•-er Le:pede:a capirara <br /> Deer tongue Dicanthehum clande:rinum <br /> Sensiti•a partridge pea Chamaecruro nicnran: <br /> Partridge pea Chamoecrura faxrcularo <br /> Big bluestem And?opogon gerardir <br /> Little bluestem Schr:achinum:coparriom <br /> Indiangrass Sorgho:rrum nuran: <br /> S, itchgrass Panicum,irgamm <br /> Kentucky bluegra ss Beaked panicgrass Panicum ancep: <br /> Tall fescue Purpletop Trrden:flat re: <br /> Sudangrass Broomsedge .1ndropogon iirginicu: <br /> Deer tongue Dicandrehurn clande:nnum <br /> Canadian nildne Elimreconaden:c <br /> Virginia inldrs•e EJi mu.i-irginicu: <br /> Sensiti•a partridge pea Chamaecri:to nicnion: <br /> Partridge pea Chamaecruro fa-ciculara <br /> Switchgrass Panicum i irganrm <br /> Sphtbeard bluestem .indropogon ternarru: <br /> Sencealespedeza Beggancce De:modium:pp <br /> Kobe lespedeza Deer tongue Drcanrhehum clande:nnum <br /> Sensm•-e partridge pea Chamaecrr:ta nicnron: <br /> Partridge pea Chamaecruro fa:ciculora <br /> **A recommended revegetation/stabilization mix would ideally include a combination of the species listed in this <br /> table.
