Vegetation Surveys

Wildlife Habitat Survey
The objectives of this survey are to collect basic, general data on vegetation structure and plant species composition relevant to upland vertebrate populations, especially birds, and to establish a plant species list  for the Refuge. Permanent plots are being established to monitor changes over time.
 

Wetland Vegetation Survey
This survey involves setting up plots on the Refuge wetlands.   Vegetation will be surveyed to establish baseline information on wetland plant communities and permanent plots will be set up to note changes over time.  Two large wetland complexes (Leonard Marsh and Harper's Meadow) have been intensively surveyed thus far.
