A formal presentation of Botanical Survey of Franklin Township was made at the Board of Supervisors meeting on April 5, 2008. This report is based on field work completed in 2007 and includes identification of exceptional natural areas as well as rare plant species and their sites.
The online version of the botanical survey is made up of several documents in PDF format. This was done to accomodate easier cross-referencing of appendices and maps, as well as to reduce the time it takes to download documents.
