Pauley TK, Watson MB, Mitchell JC. 2005. Final Report: reptile and amphibian inventories in eight parks in the National Capital Region. Dr. Thomas K. Pauley
Inventories to ascertain amphibian and reptile species that occur in 7 parks and reptile species in 1 park in the National Capital Region were conducted from spring 2002 through fall 2004. Occurrences of amphibians and reptiles were studied in Catoctin Mountain Park (CATO), George Washington Memorial Parkway (GWMP), Harpers Ferry National Historic Park (HAFE), Manassas Battlefield Park (MANA), Monocacy National Battlefield Park (MONO), Rock Creek Park (ROCR), and Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts (WOTR). Reptile inventories were conducted in the Chesapeake and Ohio National Historic Park (CHOH). Only reptile inventories were conducted at the Chesapeake and Ohio National Historic Park (CHOH) since Don Forester (2000) and Ed Thompson (2000) had previously conducted inventories for amphibians. Prior to this study, few herpetological inventories had been conducted in most parks.
