This project was undertaken to provide information to improve the protection and management of the plant resources of BLUE. The primary objectives of this study were to 1) document the vascular plant diversity of the park, 2) contribute specimens to the NPS reference herbarium in Glen Jean, WV, and to the West Virginia University Herbarium in Morgantown, WV, and 3) survey and document occurrences of rare, threatened, and endangered plant species found within the park. This information will help assess global and regional plant species distributions and abundances, identify management priorities, and serve as a baseline for establishment of monitoring programs for the park.
