We have draft data packages currently under review for invasive plants, white-tailed deer and western prairie fringed orchid. A data package for Missouri bladderpod is currently being finalized. Many thanks to Rob Baker and the NPS Ft Collins Data Strike Team for this work including Issac Quevedo, Abigail Hobbs and James Brown.
A separate data package is currently underway for ORAM wetlands assessments which is part of HTLN wetlands monitoring at Cuyohoga Valley National Park.
