Botanical Inventory Methods and Techniques
This is an introduction to botanical inventory methods for cataloging the vascular plants in a natural landscape. During the first session, you will learn the essential steps of planning a survey, including use of field guides, aerial photography, GIS (Geographic Information Systems) resources, and sampling strategies. You will also learn about designing a field-data form. You will go on to practice these methods by conducting a field survey in a natural area, identifying and recording the plant species and habitats. Finally, you will have an opportunity to work collaboratively to compile the inventory and present a report.
Please note: We do not make video or audio recordings of classes or programs available after the fact, because we believe education is interactive, with instructors and students building a community and culture of learning. Some programs may be recorded strictly for instructor-training purposes. Please visit this page to review this and other FAQs about our policies.
