Report Details
Vegetation Classification and Mapping at Gettysburg National Military Park and Eisenhower National Historic Site
Vegetation classification and mapping was conducted at Gettysburg National Military Park and
Eisenhower National Historic Site, creating a current digital geospatial vegetation database for
the parks. Classification and mapping was completed jointly for these two parks because the
parks are geographically contiguous and are managed by the same natural and cultural resource
personnel. Fifteen vegetation associations, Chestnut Oak Forest, Dry Oak – Mixed Hardwood
Forest, Tuliptree Forest, Modified Successional Forest, Conifer Plantation, Virginia Pine
Successional Forest, Sycamore – Mixed Hardwood Floodplain Forest, Bottomland Mixed
Hardwood Forest, Palustrine Shrub Thicket, Successional Old Field, Agricultural Field, Pasture,
Orchard, Wet Meadow, and Reed Canary Grass Riverine Grassland, that occur within the parks
were identified and described in detail.
