Armand Bayou getting down to the importance of Transect Monitoring with Diane Humes and dedicated volunteers in their prairie conservation efforts

We are truly thankful to Diane Humes for sharing her expertise during our recent Transect Monitor training! We are also very grateful to our dedicated volunteers who help us evaluate the success of our preservation efforts through transect monitoring of ABNC’s prairie. Volunteers count the number and diversity of the plants at various data collection points on the prairie and record them in a log with more than 20 years of data. ABNC’s stewardship team uses this crucial data to determine what should be planted in various sections of the prairie and what invasive plant species need to be eradicated.
