      <abstract>This geospatial dataset consists of a 50 x 50 m "fishnet" grid that overlays the refuge and is used for conducting field-based invasive plant surveys.</abstract>
      <purpose>This dataset was created to facilitate field-based invasive plant surveys. Each grid-cell constitutes a possible survey area within which a field surveyor documents the presence/absence of a suite of target species. The grid layer is displayed on a mobile device (smartphone or tablet) allowing the surveyor to navigate to the grid cell and establishes the geospatial boundaries of each survey.</purpose>
      <supplinf>This geospatial dataset has no known date of expiration.</supplinf>
