Hey David,
I have looked briefly over the restoration plan detailed in the BPDP for the LaGrange Phase II site and overall, am
satisfied with the planting list you proposed. One comment, is that I would like to see the LaGrange site Ph II planted
with less bald cypress (less than 240) and more of the other species you listed (yellow popular, black gum, green ash or
sycamore). The phase I LaGrange bank was planted pretty heavily with Bald Cypress trees in relation to the other
species of trees, and if I recall correctly from our site visit last June, GES had to replant a lot of them.

I have not finished reviewing the entire BPDP at this time, but will provide you with my comments on the entire
document, later.

Thanks,
Katie
