Como Park Habitat Analysis

Picture
Picture
In 2006, the Environmental Committee of St. Paul Neighborhood District 10 undertook a Natural Resource Inventory of Como Park.  The first phase of this inventory investigated bird populations in the park.  Several volunteers conducted monthly counts of all birds observed along six routes and one point count in the Como Park neighborhood for more than a year.  The purpose of this report is to report on the bird communities and the habitat they occupy.  (*In March 2019, the Environment Committee organized a team of volunteers to do an update to the bird portion of this original survey - their data will be added as soon as their survey is completed.) 

We had three main goals in this habitat analysis:

1) To describe the habitats available in Como Park that birds use;

2) Provide basic descriptions about what vegetation is currently in the park so that any management in this area can be based on current information; and,

3) Provide thorough baseline data with which to compare future vegetative changes based on management or natural activities.
