Book excerpt: NatureServe contracted with the New Hampshire Natural Heritage Bureau (NH Heritage) to conduct a survey and produce a map of the vegetation of Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site. NatureServe ecologists planned the sampling, oversaw the field effort, and integrated plot and accuracy assessment data and field information into the U.S. National Vegetation Classification (USNVC) to produce a standardized product for the National Park Service. The purpose of this project was to produce a standardized map and classification of the vegetation communities and land cover of the Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site and to provide thorough baseline data on the park's vegetation.
