Summary
The University of Alaska Anchorage, Alaska Natural Heritage Program agreed to conduct a vascular plant survey of the proposed UNAVCO Plate Boundary Observatory GPS monument site at Slope Mountain in Lake Clark National Park and Preserve. The need for a plant survey was precipitated by the discovery of a number of rare plants found on surrounding peaks during vascular plant inventories in 2003 and 2005 (see Carlson et al. 2005 for details). The survey of the UNAVCO site on the northeast peak of Slope Mountain did not reveal any imperiled or critically imperiled vascular plant species. Here, I briefly outline the background of the project and rare plant concerns in the area, location and habitat of the site, survey methods, and results.
