Preproject inventory of vascular plants, 1992
This inventory was carried out by members of the Ottawa Field-Naturalists' Club before work started on the FWG. It concentrated on specific areas rather than all over the site: the ravine, the site of our Amphibian Pond, and the Ash Woodlot. The list is by no means comprehensive. An asterisk (*) means alien, i.e., not native to Ontario.
