1. The Playground has no shading and based upon prop 407 one of the main requests from the residents consisted upon the need for shading.
2. There is no side walk or bike path next to the site.

1. A shade structure has been added to the playground area,
2. Side walk made out of permeable concrete has been added to the design for pedestrian access.
3. Flooding has been reduced by taking water off Alamo wash.

Q1: Since the Wilshire site already has wildlife, what are the design concerns I need to take into account so as not to ruin their existing habitat?
A: The first step is to assess your current conditions. Take a walk
through your property. Take special note of the areas along the waterway itself and conditions nearby. Let under-story, ground-level, and vegetation grow freely. If possible, fence cows out of the densest part of a gallery riparian area and away from the stream channel to protect young trees and fragile banks. If grazing must happen, keep it minimal, and only during non-growing seasons. Make every effort to keep livestock out of the stream channel itself and away from the banks. If there’s a shallow water table, pole planting can be a fast and inexpensive way to increase the number of trees, especially cottonwood and willow
Q2: How can I enhance the existing wildlife?
A: Adding The mid-story to the design which can consist of tall
shrubs, young trees, and vines climbing up the taller plants. This zone is very important for nesting birds; and many birds search for fruit, insects, and seeds here. • Avoid pruning large shrubs and trees during bird nesting season (March–August). • Plant native fruit-bearing plants, such as elderberry and hack-berry. • Maintain potential nest sites by leaving dead trees standing whenever possible and safe. • Consider installing nest boxes for native birds, especially if your property doesn’t have many natural tree cavities. More information and free nest box plans, visit: tucsonaudubon.org/nest box. • Plant armored vegetation, like wolf-berry and gray-thorn, to help protect nesting birds from predators. Adding Wildlife Escape Ladders to keep them from drowning Cover Your Pipes Do not remove large native trees whenever possible. • Remove invasive tree species, such as tree of heaven and Russian olive, and replace by planting native trees. • Conduct necessary tree felling and pruning during the non-nesting season (September–February) to allow birds to finish nesting and raising

Q3: What are some of the strategies I can add to the existing design in order to enhance the wildlife?
A: Help your wash flow better. If your property has small barren
washes, you can slow and spread flowing water by installing tiny trincheras or rows of rocks. These are easily made with rocks and larger sticks that might be lying around nearby. This helps trap blowing leaf litter (which holds water longer than the rocky soil), and blowing seeds. The seeds are planted in the perfect bed for them to sprout and establish. Repeated rows of a single layer of rocks are more effective than single rows of larger rock piles. • Plant clumps of low-growing shrubs and flowering plants that are native to your region and appropriate to the type of riparian area you have. Native plants are more likely to be successful and support more wildlife. • Postpone mowing until after the bird nesting season (March– August) to avoid destroying or disturbing birds that nest on and close to the ground. • Once flowering plants lose their blossoms, give birds a chance to feed on the seed heads before removing them. Native plants that look “weedy” to us are an important food source for goldfinches and other birds.
Q9: What are the native vegetations I can add to the site as a food source?
A: It takes a robust plant to grow in the arid landscape along des-
ert washes. Desert willow, foothills and blue paloverde, velvet mesquite, cat-claw acacia, and ironwood all thrive here in differing areas. In the under story, you will find the desert broom, burro bush, mimosa, desert hack-berry, and wolf-berry. A desert wash will only flow when it rains, but these areas still have more moisture than the surrounding desert and act as a haven for food and shelter for wildlife.
Q10: Is my design going to affect the birds migration patterns? If it does what do I need to do differently?
Framing Community Issues
A: No that won’t affect the migratory pattern in such a small scale
but the migratory pattern has been changing due to climate change, Egg laying is occurring earlier,Migration times are shifting

Conclusion
1.Native Plants are the most attractable to birds and in order to enhance the wildlife, we need to get rid of the plants such as palms and other
ones. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for wildlife to keep a variety of plant sizes and species.
2.During Bird nesting season (March - August) pruning, mowing and other disturbances to the vegetation should be kept to a minimum in
order to keep birdsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; breeding and nursing cycles uninterrupted.
3.Areas Of particular interest for enhancing the site should be focused around planting a variety of native vegetation, removing invasive
plant species and improving wash flow.
