[MAIPC] groundcover suggestions

[Jensen, Mary]

Hi Toni,

At Valley Forge NHP we used this mix from Ernst:
https://www.ernstseed.com/product/right-of-way-native-woods-mix-wannual-ryegrass/?anchor=0
to re-seed a social trail that we closed.  So far, seems to be  working.

But not sure about deer, Valley Forge has gotten them down to about 30 per
square mile...  Maybe Ernst can let you know if this would still work if
your deer are higher density, or maybe they have some other options.
