Overview

HRV springs assement trip in 2009This is a collaborative research project between Grand Canyon Trust, Northern Arizona University and the North Kaibab National Forest.  Volunteers will assist in a study on the effects of fire on understory vegetation, pine tree mortality, fuels and soils. Field sites are located in the Warm Fire, on the North Kaibab Plateau in northern Arizona.  Volunteers will be working alongside graduate researchers and field technicians with intimate experience on this project to collect voucher herbarium specimens. Work will be done on plots located throughout the fire predominately in Ponderosa Pine ecosystems. 

For more information about the project visit the Kane and Two Mile Ranches webpage.

Participation in this project requires that you have participated in a Budding Botanist training prior to the trip. Unfortunately we are not offering any new trainings in 2010.
