As such, she is very well suited for this task. Celeste walked the entire 21 km length of this trail. She took GPS coordinates and various statistics at each incidence of a noxious plant.<\/p>\n<h2>\u00a0<\/h2>\n<h2>Plant Type<\/h2>\n<p>A sample of her data and some preliminary results are Noxious Plants - Top 5 Highest Incidence Rate<\/p>\n<p>shown.
