The goal of this project is to create a new vegetation map for the western portion of San Diego County. This will be based on the Vegetation Classification Manual hierarchical classification system. The map will consist of a group-level comprehensive map based on satellite remote sensing and an alliance/association map focused on existing preserves or important resources.
