It's that time of year again.  Crews will be out using shotguns to sample foliage beginning tomorrow at CCASE (near the headquarters building), next week in watersheds 6 and 1, and the following week at the 14 HBNO sites scattered throughout the valley.  Sometime in there Torsten Berger also plans to sample the NuPert plots, west of watershed 6 above the middle rain gauge. 

It's a complicated process dependent on weather and crew availability, so the exact days in the following weeks are still uncertain, but at any rate, it starts tomorrow.

Stay tuned,
