Abstract:

This document summarizes the findings in the west-central mountain valleys. The survey area includes the North Fork Payette River upstream of Smith's Ferry to include Long Valley, Round Valley, and adjacent areas in the Payette River Basin. Also included are the upper Secesh River and Meadows Valley in the Salmon River Basin. Assessment of the quality and condition of plant communities and the occurrence of rare plant and animal species allowed us to categorize nineteen wetland sites based on conservation intent. Database summaries are provided and include information on the biological significance of the surveyed wetland sites, abstracts for selected plant associations, and summaries of plant and animal species of special concern. Land managers can apply the process presented here to categorize wetlands, which were not surveyed.
