<p>The project will involve collecting and identifying the plants of these areas, with specimens deposited in the 黄大仙高手论坛 Herbarium to document the study. Certain sites deemed as potentially high quality will receive more concentrated investigation. Students involved in this project will also help to determine the current status of the 34 species listed by Cole that are presently considered rare and endangered in the state of Michigan. These students will work closely with Drs. Garrett Crow and David Warners, and will collaborate with the lead botanist of the Michigan Natural Features Inventory with respect to rare plants. The work from this project will eventually contribute to an updated manuscript, Flora of the Grand Rapids Area.</p>
<p>Dr. Garrett Crow, adjunct faculty in Calvin's Biology Department and Emeritus Professor of Biology at the University of New Hampshire will be the primary investigator of this project. I will be involved as well, but in more of an consulting-type role. We will also be assisted in this project by Brad Slaughter, field botanist with the Michigan Natural Features Inventory.</p>
