Webster Flat

Description:
Plate 1357X. Webster Flat 1936 – 2006 Viewed northeast across Webster Flat. The meadow is more vegetated today than in the past and soil erosion has been eliminated. The area was actively being grazed by domestic sheep in 2006. Except for a handful of new saplings, aspen has not successfully regenerated in many years due to excessive ungulate browsing (Ohms 2003). Conifers have increased. The photopoint is located at the turning point on the old snow survey course and is viewed back to the snow course’s starting point (Plate 1338x).
