Overview
Over the years, Sagamore Hill has managed to retain a degree of the natural character that it possessed when Theodore Roosevelt called it home (1887 to 1919). Sagamore Hill boasts several valuable communities, including a relatively rare, intact stand of native oak-tulip tree forest, as well as a hydrologically intact maritime complex consisting of high and low salt marshes, a tidal creek, dunes, and beach. Due to its small size, Sagamore Hill does not contain large, contiguous areas comprised of a single vegetation type, but the site’s many vegetation types are utilized by a variety of plants and animals, including some locally and nationally rare species.The Sagamore Hill Naional Historic Site Vegetation Inventory Project delivers many geospatial and vegetation data products, including an in-depth project report discussing methods and results, which include descriptions to vegetation associations, field keys to vegetation associations, map classification, and map-class descriptions. The suite of products also includes a database of vegetation plots, and accuracy assessment (AA) sites; digital images of field sites; digital aerial imagery; digital maps; a contingency table listing AA results; and a geodatabase of vegetation, field sites (vegetation plots, and AA sites), aerial imagery, project boundary, and metadata.
