Abstract:

The United States Fish and Wildlife Service National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) maps were used to gain a broad perspective on the extent and types of wetlands in the survey area. The survey area consists of the Weiser River Basin. Ten wetland sites were categorized based on conservation intent. Five wetlands occur in a relatively natural condition and full protection is the priority. The biological significance of the surveyed wetland sites, abstracts for rare plant communities, and summaries of animal species are provided to guide management activities. Land managers can apply the process presented here to categorize wetlands that were not surveyed. Conservation strategies are identified for all sites surveyed and for plant communities that are unprotected or under-protected. <br>
