Green Banks’ scientists conducted botanical surveys on 2,716 acres in the Gifford-Pinchot National Forest. The surveys were conducted to identify endangered plant species populations, noxious weeds, and other state species of concern. The project also included the development of complete species lists for surveyed areas including bryophytes, lichens, and fungi. GIS maps were created for surveyed areas that displayed endangered plant population locations, noxious weed populations, and survey routes.
