Heisler SE, Wyler CS, Hooke JS. 2021. Steel Visitor Center Rehabilitation Revegetation Project: 2020 Annual Report. National Park Service. Crater Lake National Park
Crater Lake National Park’s Steel Visitor Center is slated for a major rehabilitation project in 2021. The Steel Visitor Center serves as the only year-round visitor information center for the Park, houses the post office, and also provides office space supporting Park operations. The Botany program has been given responsibility for revegetating disturbed natural areas after construction once the rehabilitation is completed. Revegetation efforts during the 2020 field season included site documentation and planning, collecting seed from 34 different plant species, salvaging 222 pots of plants, and seeding just under 3,500 pots for propagation. The project area was surveyed for invasive plants and 6,674 were found and treated. Revegetation work is planned to continue into the 2021 season by expanding and increasing seed collection efforts, caring for propagated and salvaged plants, and continuing to survey for and treat invasive plant species.
