The purpose of this study is to classify and describe vegetation at Thomas Stone National Historic Site within the framework of the U.S. National Vegetation Classification System (USNVCS). The vegetation map is one of the minimal data sets of an essential resource inventory for managing more than 250 units of the National Park System with significant natural resources.
