This reference is an assemblage of field data collected as part the baseline vegetation inventory for the park unit. Typical files here are vegetation plot data, accuracy assessment data, field photos, PDF showing locations of vegetation plots and accuracy assessment data, and other data for this type. Field sampling occurred in the spring of 2015. Field work commenced with a quick survey of the Reserve to determine which broad physiognomic categories and vegetation associations to include in the draft classification list. After the quick survey, the field crew walked transects of the park, annotating boundaries of plant associations on the field maps. Field sampling was very straightforward, particularly in the Historic Site where types were easily identifiable and clearly delineated on the field maps. Observation points were recorded within each major vegetation polygon that was annotated. Data collected at the observation points consisted of a GPS point, photo, plant association, and a brief list of major species.
