Plant Lists
This page is a work in progress; the Bristlecone Chapter will be posting and adding to our plant lists for local areas, but this will always be a work in progress as new information comes to light. If you have a list to share, send it to us at webmaster@bristleconecnps.org and also add it to our growing plant database - see information about that project below.
Here are a few lists we've posted so far - these are not by any means definitive lists, and are meant to be starting points to which we encourage you to add species as you find them. If you have additions, corrections, or more complete or more official lists, for these or other locations, please let us know.

Plant List Project: Mary's Notes
One of our chapter members, Michèle Slaton, is working on collecting and creating a Bristlecone Chapter Flora and plant database, starting with Mary DeDecker's own notes and adding from plant lists created by chapter members over the years. We are working on making the database available online, but you can currently contribute and retrieve plant lists from the database by submitting a request. Read more about the project, "Mary's Notes," here.
