Natural Resource Condition Assessment Friendship Hill National Historic Site (FRHI), Pennsylvania
Contribution: Co-authored a Natural Resource Condition Assessment Report for Friendship Hill National Historic Site, a national park in Pennsylvania, building on existing literature, policies, history of use, and mapping vital resources including hydrology and plant and animal species. Analysis: Evidence of impaired water quality due to acid mine drainage. Invasive plants are a major concern at FRHI, which requires thorough monitoring, and systemic removal of such species from the park to prevent further spread.
