Wildlife Field Research Week - WFR Week - Riparian Woody Plant Survey (set up transects)

Riparian woody vegetation assessments are conducted in the Fall along transects crossing Cibolo Creek. Woody plants are identified and trunks are measured using large calipers to assess basal diameter. The data from this survey helps to assess changes in riparian woody plant diversity and facilitates invasive plant occurrence tracking for use during invasive removal projects. Thursday will be for setting up the survey transects.

Requirements: You will be walking along the creek's edge so roots, rocks, fallen trees will need to be navigated around or through. Appropriate attire is highly recommended (e.g. closed toed shoes/boots).
