Heisler SE, Wyler CS, Hooke JS. 2022. Steel Visitor Center Rehabilitation Revegetation Project: 2021 Annual Report. National Park Service. Crater Lake National Park
Crater Lake National Park’s Steel Visitor Center is slated for a major rehabilitation project beginning in fall 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 2021 field season included site documentation and planning, collecting seed from 30 different plant species, salvaging 42 pots of plants, caring for 3,035 plants, and seeding just under 600 pots for propagation. The project area was surveyed for invasive plants and 3,945 were found and treated. Revegetation work is planned to continue into the 2022 season by expanding and increasing seed collection efforts, caring for propagated and salvaged plants, and continuing to survey for and control invasive plant species.
