Abstract:
Robert H. Read of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) set up 7 permanent photographic stations within the U.S. Forest Service's Moquah Barrens Research Natural Area (RNA) in Bayfield County, Wisconsin on July 25-26, 1973. Stations were chosen throughout the RNA in an effort to represent as many vegetation types as possible. The points were marked by steel U-channel fence posts and sprayed white. Photographs (2-4 per station) were taken directly above the posts. In June 1978, all seven stations were visited and new photographs taken. During the springs of 2012-2014, 3 trips were taken by a U.S. Forest Service and University of Wisconsin-Madison research team to re-locate the photo stations and record their GPS coordinates. This archived product contains the 1973 and 1978 photographs of these stations, along with a file containing a list of each photograph along with details specific to the image such as: date, photographer, type of camera, resolution, and coordinates.
