Study Area

By now Luke probably told most of you that we will start at Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument (ORPI). This is just one of many land units that we will be visiting this spring and we are working hard to finalize study permits and logistics. I thought it would be helpful to share with you the study area boundaries and the potential land owners we will be working with. Here is a map showing the study area boundary in black and the diversity of potential land owners in different colors. The map is zoomed in to central and southwestern AZ. We will not be working on private lands but all other lands are potential sites for plots (pending research approval in some cases). ORPI, our starting location, is shown in turquoise.
