Comments:
- WVDNR enters data in a combined database with their point counts
- Approximately 40 of the routes on the Forest are in NH/Spruce habitats (at least a portion of the route). Most of these are run by the Forest (i.e., routes are either run by Forest biologists, or contracted out by the Forest), but some are run out of the WVDNR. Of the Forest-run routes, six have been run for > 10 years, with another five having been run for 6-9 years.
