Back to Conway Conservation's home pageNATURAL COMMUNITY CLASSIFICATION
Unique staff expertise and specialized databases enable
Conway Conservation to readily prepare useful vegetation
classifications. Linda Conway Duever gained familiarity with both
temperate and tropical systems in developing the terrestrial and
palustrine components of the Florida Natural Areas Inventory
natural community classification used for mapping State of
Florida lands, as well as the theme study classification the
National Park Service uses for categorizing lands in peninsular
Florida. Conway Conservation maintains annotated versions of
FLUCFCS, FNAI, SCS (FL), and other classifications in a
database/report system where they can be easily adapted and
linked to GIS to create decision rule manuals.
