This grant is for supporting the Parks Department’s initiative to conduct comprehensive vegetation inventories across various park locations. The primary purpose is to produce high-quality, standardized maps and associated data sets of vegetation and land-cover. This crucial information will address a wide array of resource assessment, park management, and conservation needs. It empowers park managers to effectively conserve unique plant biodiversity, tackle challenges posed by exotic species, insect outbreaks, and diseases, and gain deeper insights into critical ecological processes such as wildlife habitat relationships and wildland fires. The resulting data will be instrumental in informed decision-making for long-term park sustainability.

Eligibility
| Eligible Applicants: | Others (see text field entitled “Additional Information on Eligibility” for clarification) |
| Additional Information on Eligibility: | This is a "Notice of Intent" of a single source task agreement award to the University of Missouri, Columbia, MO under the Great Rivers Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). This single source award is justified as a continuation. The Missouri Resources Assessment Program is conducting Natural Resource Condition Assessments for George Washington Carver NM, Pea Ridge NMP, and Wilson’s Creek NB through task agreement # J2106 08 0056. The land cover map developed from the condition assessments will serve as the base map for vegetation mapping. Field reconnaissance conducted through the condition assessment will also inform preliminary development of National Vegetation Classification descriptions. Integrating the condition assessment and vegetation mapping efforts results in substantial cost savings to the NPS. |

| Description: | The primary objective of the Vegetation Mapping Inventory is to produce high-quality, standardized maps and associated data sets of vegetation and other land-cover occurring within parks. This information fills and complements a wide variety of resource assessment, park management, and conservation needs. Vegetation species and communities are unique from park to park. The inventory of these resources helps park managers conserve plant biodiversity, manage challenges such as exotic species, insect outbreaks, and diseases, and understand resources and processes such and wildlife habitat relationships and wildland fires. |
