| Plant Stewardship Index: An Overview |
 |
A new analytical tool for land conservationists, land managers, and property
owners
Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve (BHWP) has broadened its horizons and is
reaching beyond its 134-acre site to help protect and manage local plant
communities and habitats. The Preserve has developed the Plant Stewardship
Index (PSI) specifically to evaluate the Piedmont plant communities of the
Delaware Valley region in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The PSI provides a
practical and standardized tool for assessing the biological integrity of a
site, including open space, public lands and private property. This new
diagnostic tool will assist land conservationists, land managers and
property owners in measuring the effectiveness of land management practices
over time.
