Comment from Fred Roberts, Botanist
“Definitely I would agree that they are important, even if we would prefer better documentation. These days I am more concerned that we appear to be losing rare species data as well - many documents are just putting dots on maps and a total number of plants found within the project area and not indicating how these numbers are distributed. The worst examples I can think of was the Orange Co. Transportation Corridor tollway and the Rancho Mission Viejo HCP. Well I guess at least we have dots, even if some times they are on really small maps.”
