Inventory project as-delivered dataset. EnviroScience completed a systematic rare plant survey in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park (CUVA). CUVA staff use the visitor use management planning (VUMP) process to draft proposed management zones for the park to track resource degradation and guide management decisions. The VUMP process has identified a critical need for a park-wide rare plant inventory to supplement outdated surveys conducted from 1986 to the early 2000s. This systematic transect-based survey was designed to provide current rare plant data to inform the VUMP process. These updated rare plant data will support the National Park Service (NPS) in their efforts to: prioritize ongoing conservation efforts, support and improve the quality of the VUMP products and validate the proposed management zones, support early stages of Comprehensive River Management Planning, inform ongoing management decisions in sometimes contentious areas of the park, and help prioritize ongoing management efforts.
