Wildlife - Aspen Inventory

The unique aspen habitat located throughout the North Zone of the Salmon-Challis National Forest has caught the attention of Wildlife Biologists. Using an established regional protocol, crew members collected GPS data for future incorporation into the Salmon-Challis vegetation geodatabases. Specific tasks included: field assessment of vegetative stand condition, collection of quantitative and qualitative data for implementation and effectiveness monitoring, development of a photographic record for monitoring, production of GIS maps, and collection of field data on wildlife and plant species of interest.
