Thanks CLM for a great opportunity to work with the forest service!
My last month has been a whirl wind of new projects away from rare plant surveys. The last project to be put on my plate was setting up transects through different habitat types to measure shrub production and forage in grazing allotments. Its been great getting to be involved in so many different projects starting with rare plant surveys, then moving on to wildlife, soils and finally range. It has been an interesting experience being involved in the Rim fire recovery work and seeing how the forest service is moving forward. Our work surveying for sensitive and rare plants is only the first step in a long process of recovery for the forest. I will continue to follow the progress and hope that the work we did this season will keep the sensitive plant populations growing in the years to come!
