Over the past two years, botanist and herbarium director, Dr. George Wilder, has been diligently conducting a floristic inventory of this area and has since identified over 568 unique native and non-native plant species. Thus, in collaboration with members of our Conservation and Natural Resources Team, the boundaries of seven unique habitats were identified, walked, and diligently mapped out using high accuracy GPS unit and drone-captured orthomosaics.

Note: The formal research paper is set to be published in 2023-24.

North American settler colonialism is not a historical event, but an ongoing process that strives to silence the continued presence of the original Indigenous inhabitants in the United States and Canada. The map, Erasing the Line, attempts to challenge the primacy of existing sovereign states by showing contiguous Indigenous community across the US–Canada border. This subversive visualization is inspired by nationalist maps and uses official census data to challenge the settler state narrative from within.
