The UBC Botanical Garden (UBCBG) plays an integral role in maintaining biodiversity across campus, acting as a hub of ecological interactions for thousands of plant, bird and insect species. To ensure continued success in this unique ecosystem, it is necessary to accurately map the location of each plant. Through the use of field measurements and GIS, this project aims to create a fully delineated representation of the UBCBG that can act as the basemap for long-term database project of plant species inventory. The goals of this project are to: 1. Map the features within the UBCBG in order to: a. Accurately delineate garden boundaries. b. Track/update plant inventories at the garden bed level. 2. Create point-lines that represent the pathways and other features of interest throughout the Gardens using highly accurate GPS equipment.
