Prof. David Warners

A floristic survey of the Plaster Creek watershed was performed by this course.  Uncommon, threatened, native and non-native were noted.  The watershed was broken up into six sections for six different groups.  Each group calculated their section’s floristic quality according to the Floristic Quality Index.  The information that they collected went towards a document that was given over to a Plaster Creek neighborhood organization.  The document suggested areas to target for conservation and contaminated areas that needed to be cleaned.
