1 - Nature Trail Delineation
A differential global positioning system (<:iPS; Trimble Explorer) will be employed to
geolocate trails to sub-meter accuracy. The locations of other ~portant :features, such as
scenic viewpoints, ~ areas, picnic areas and information kiosks, will also be recorded.
The <:iPS data will subsequently be incorporated into a geographic information system
(GIS). All delineated features will be overlain on aerial photographs. The resulting
feature maps will be printed in Ii large format for display purposes (on a preserve kiosk).
The information will also be available fur downloading on the Town website. In
addition, digital photographs will be linked to the online material highlighting particular
natura1 resource features and vistas expected to be encountered on a trail wslk.
2 " Plant Cnmmllnity Delineation
The boundaries of plant communities or habitatS will be delinllllted through aerial
photo analysis coupled with groundtruthing. Habitats will be classified into one of the
fullowing groups: mixed bIlrdwood, old field successional, emergent freshwater wetland,
scrub shrub wetland, saltmarsh, forested wetland, and disturbed. These delineations will
be digitized and incorporated into the Town website as well as on to the iaIge furmat
aerial pnntouts.
3 - Floral Inventory
A floral inventory will be conducted listing all predominant species. . In addition to
listing scientific and cotntnon names, digital pictures will be taken of specimens fuund.
