Aerial Information Systems, Inc (AIS) was contracted to create both a baseline vegetation map derived from 1990s-era imagery and an updated 2010 vegetation map for the Santa Lucia Preserve (Preserve) and neighboring properties to the west, for a total area of 25,630 acres. The neighboring properties are contiguous with the western boundary of the Preserve and are owned by several different organizations. These adjacent properties are: Whisler-Wilson Ranch, Palo Corona Regional Park, both owned by Monterey Peninsula Regional Park District (MPRPD); Mitteldorf Preserve, owned by Big Sur Land Trust (BSLT); a small portion of the Joshua Creek Canyon Ecological Reserve, which is the property of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (DFW); and several pieces of private property owned by individuals. The vegetation mapping classification created for the project area is based on a floristic vegetation classification according to the National Vegetation Classification (NVCS) and on California statewide vegetation mapping and classification standards.
