Vegetation Survey at Nelson Creek

The Vegetation Survey at Nelson Creek on 5/30/2009 was a success, but we didn't finish with all of our sites. We went to preselected random sites and marked them with a hopefully permanent stake and collected information on percent cover, species composition, tree diameter and also took reference pictures. We would like to finish the work soon, probably during a weekend day in June between the 13 and 28th. Well need a few helpers to help hike/wade to the spots.

This is a great opportunity to learn about plant surveying techniques and experience a bit of citizen science. If anyone is interested in participating, let This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. know and indicate when you would be available. She'll contact those who have expressed interest when the date is finalized. Plant ID skills are helpful but not necessary; ability to hike/wade is necessary.
