This project documents the vegetation associations of Friendship Hill National Historic Site based on 2003 aerial photography and field sampling (2004 plots, 2005 AA), and completes one of 12 basic inventory data sets for the park. Report was published in June 2006. A map showing the locations of vegetation associations in the park was created, following the USGS/NPS Vegetation Mapping Program protocols (The Nature Conservancy and Environmental Systems Research Institute 1994a, b, c). These vegetation associations were also crosswalked to the Terrestrial and Palustrine Plant Communities of Pennsylvania (Fike 1999) and the National Vegetation Classification System in order to provide a regional and global context for the park’s vegetation. A dichotomous field key was developed for these vegetation associations to assist with field recognition and classification.
