<br />- <br />...... . '. <br /> <br />at @ $20,000.00. The program recently underwent a PEP review, June 2005, in cooperation with <br />GCMRC. <br /> <br />Continue Condition Assessment and Restoration Prescription program. Park vegetation <br />managers have been revisiting many of the previously "rehabilitated" sites within the Colorado River <br />corridor. They have re-taken photographs and begun to analyze change over time to determine <br />which methods have most effectively mitigated human impacts. This effort currently lacks funding <br />but has been supported by many volunteers and the Colorado River Fund's Cooperative Resource <br />Conservation Program. Crews continue to document current site conditions in order to prepare for <br />future rehabilitation efforts. GRCA staff are involved in GCMRC's review of its recreation <br />monitoring program and hope to assist with the development of protocols and standards. Work is <br />supported by NPS program budget ($10,000.00) as time and funding allows. <br /> <br />Also, we continue the Vegetation Inventory and Monitoring Program in the backcountry. There is <br />currently no funding for this effort; however, vegetation managers and volunteer botanists have <br />been compiling species lists from many of the side canyons and have been documenting rare plant <br />populations in order to update the park's infonnation, including what is included in NPSpecies. The <br />data will be used to initiate long-tenn monitoring efforts. Several of these species occur in the <br />Colorado River corridor and others occur in areas that river visitors and backcountry users can <br />readily access. Work is supported by NPS program budget ($10,000.00) as time and funding <br />allows. <br />
