About this Dataset

Vicksburg National Military Park Herpetological Inventory 2001-2002 - Data Package

Vicksburg National Military Park (VICK) was established in 1899 to commemorate the siege of Vicksburg in 1863. Most of the park lies within the northeastern section of Vicksburg, Mississippi. There are several small satellite sections of the park found in Vicksburg as well. This inventory of the amphibians and reptiles of VICK was mostly conducted in the main park, with a few visits made to satellite sites. The field studies were periodic, beginning on March 1, 2001 and ending on May 10, 2002. The survey found six salamander, 12 frog and toad, nine turtle, four lizard, and 14 snake species within the park boundaries. No federal or state threatened or endangered species were found within the park. Voucher specimens were collected and were sent to the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science in Jackson, Mississippi.
