GeomorphIS Team to Conduct Plant Surveys on Plumas National Forest

The US Forest Service (USFS) has issued a task order under the USFS Region 5 Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to the GeomorphIS/Pivot Environmental/Pyramid Botanical Consulting (PBC) team to conduct a botany survey for certain scoped species including invasive plants within the Franks Valley Vegetation Management Project Area, Mt. Hough Ranger District of the Plumas National Forest, California. The Franks Valley Vegetation Management Project Area is approximately 2,020 acres.  Elevations range between 5,700 & 7,400 feet.  The project area consists of a mosaic of habitats, (on all aspects) including mostly Ponderosa pine, Sierran mixed conifer, Baker cypress, and true fir stands.  Terrain ranges from steep to flat with slopes generally under 45%.  The PBC botanists will perform a pre-survey literature review, conduct field surveys, and prepare field forms. The team will submit draft and final reports summarizing the results of the field surveys, including maps and GIS data.
