People who are interested in mapping native plants may also want to take
a look at the San Diego County Plant Atlas, which is available as a
Google Earth overlay.  Information is available
at: http://www.sdnhm.org/ge_files/GE_atlas.html.

    This is from the Sunday NY Times:
    http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/03/nyregion/03flora.html?ref=science
    . From the article:



    Hoping to revive the plants, the scientists recently completed a
    20-year project mapping species in every county within a 50-mile
    radius of New York, providing detailed information on the health of
    more than 15,000 native and nonnative species.

    AND

    Over the last two decades, the botanical garden has relied on dozens
    of individuals and local botanical groups to survey blocks of land
    in their neighborhoods, counting and identifying plants in open
    fields, vacant lots and even sidewalk cracks.

    The map itself may be seen at:
