This project is an inventory and assessment of rare and endangered plant communities in the southeastern Skeena Region (Bulkley, Kispiox, Morice, and Lakes Forest Districts) focusing on red-listed grassland, scrub-steppe and floodplain communities with the intent of mapping all red-listed occurrences in the dry cool Sub-Boreal Spruce (SBSdk) biogeoclimatic subzone in the Bulkley Basin.

This was a two year project to inventory and assess rare and endangered plant communities in the southeastern Skeena Region (Bulkley, Kispiox, Morice, and Lakes Forest Districts). It focussed on mapping all red-listed grassland, scrub-steppe and floodplain communities in the dry cool Sub-Boreal Spruce (SBSdk) biogeoclimatic subzone in the Bulkley Basin. Other objectives were to provide an overview assessment of rare and endangered plant communities throughout the four Districts, including plant communities not currently listed, and to raise awareness among Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks (MELP) and Ministry of Forests (MoF) staff of rare and endangered plant communities and their management.
A total of 56 days were spent in the field between May 1, 1996 and October 28, 1997. One hundred and thirty-one sites with rare plant communities were field visited and 177 field records of various types were collected. Permanent photo-tiepoints were established at 57 locations to allow changes in the plant communities to be monitored. An additional 107 field records of element occurrences were obtained from other sources. Collections of plant voucher specimens (359 vascular plants, 84 cryptogams) and rock samples (38) were made.
Twenty six 1:20,000 TRIM mapsheets were either partially or completely mapped with a total of 871 plant community polygons delineated (total area 6795 ha). These mapsheets encompass the Bulkley Valley SBSdk corridor, with a few partial mapsheets scattered in other drainages and in other Forest Districts.
