The Northern Colorado Plateau Inventory and Monitoring Network worked with the support of the U.S. Geological Survey - National Park Service Vegetation Mapping Program to describe and map vegetation at Fossil Butte National Monument (FOBU). This collaborative effort involved many project partners, particularly the FOBU superintendent and natural resources staff, the Rocky Mountain Mapping Center of the U.S. Geological Survey, the Western Region office of NatureServe, engineering-environmental Management, Inc., and their cooperators.
