Project Management Plan Outline
Management Plan Outline
For 2013 GSP Restoration Sites
1. Title of project:
If a specific project title is not provided, select a project name that includes the location (park and management
zone) of the project. Create a title page for the plan with the project title, names of team and date submitted.
2. Setting and scope of the project:
In 2 or 3 paragraphs, describe the location, size and general ecological description of the project and an overview of
what is included in the scope of the project. Include a brief summary of the site assessment and the exact location of
your monitoring plot. Include photographs to show the site setting and monitoring plot before work begins.
3. Project objective(s):
Use the target forest type thresholds for your site as a guide and state the objective of the project in one sentence.
The objective should be quantifiable and measurable with a timeline (e.g., Remove an estimated x sf area of invasive
plant species and install y native trees, shrubs and other native groundcover species in an (size) acre restoration site
located in management unit z of (name) Park by June 30, 2014).
4. Primary tasks, work schedule and estimated steward and community volunteer hours:
In a table, list the logical order of all key tasks for each phase of the plan (see GSP Forest Steward Field Guide; e.g.,
site inventory, project plan preparation, invasive removal, planting, work parties and public events, maintenance
and monitoring); estimated start/completion dates (month/year); best estimate of team hours and estimated
number of volunteers and volunteer hours required). Attach or insert into the plan the following supporting
documents:
a. a project site inventory form with map (to scale) showing major invasive tree, shrub and herbaceous
infestations (hand drawn preferred); the map can either be hand drawn to scale (preferred) using a pace or
tape and compass or prepared using GIS/GPS software;
b. a generalized planting plan map (hand drawn preferred; use copy of the site inventory map as template);
c. a table a proposed plant list using target forest plant communities for species (see GSP Forest Steward Field
Guide); the plant list should include: scientific name, common name and suggested type, size and quantity;
d. a table with 3‐year maintenance schedule ( weeding, mulching, watering, plant replacement, etc.); and
e. a community engagement plan outlining the strategy that will be used to recruit individual and group events.
5. Special requirements and needs:
Briefly identify any special requirements or needs other than plant materials to implement the plan: (e.g., Park
assistance for trash removal, Port‐a‐Potties for events, maps, forms, supplies, equipment, etc.)
6. Disposition of project data:
Briefly describe the disposition of information/data collected: (what data and who gets the data, forms and
reports).
7. Contact information:
State contact information for team lead, team members and if assigned, mentor.
8. Approvals:
Include signature and date lines for the team lead and approval lines for WNPS Steward Coordinator, WNPS
Stewardship Program Chair and designated park management official for GSP. The plan must be approved by the
WNPS Steward Coordinator and Stewardship Program Chair before it is submitted to Green Seattle Partnership for
their approval. Phase I invasive removal tasks on the site must not begin until the project plan is approved.
