What happened to the NY Flora Atlas?

by Kathy Purdy on April 25, 2007

Does anyone know what happened to the NY Flora Atlas? I can get a cached image of the site on Google, but my browser tells me the server can’t be found. Did the organization go under? Did they lose funding for the website? It seemed like such a worthy project, mapping native populations of various plants. Every state should have such a website for both natives and invasives. Does your state have such a website, either government sponsored or state-sponsored?

About

Kathy Purdy discovered the joys of writing in fourth grade, when she started corresponding with a former classmate. She's been writing letters ever since, first on looseleaf, then electronically, and now as weblog entries. That makes you, the blog reader, her pen pal. Her first independent (though frustrating) attempts at gardening were made in high school, though the gardening bug didn't bite hard until her mid-thirties, when she found herself mistress of a rural home on 15 acres. • USDA Hardiness Zone:4 • AHS Heat Zone: 3 • Location: rural; Southern Tier of NY • Geographic type: foothills of Appalachian Mountains • Soil Type: acid clay • Experience level: intermediate • Particular interests: colchicums, narcissus, cottage gardening, NY native plants, gardening with/for children

It's the gardener's job to choose those that will thrive in his or her climate, rather than trying to force the plants to grow where they're not well suited.
Nancy Ondra, in The Perennial Care Manual

Another site you may like is the NY Heritage site. TNC and DEC have involvement

sewobsessed–the link you gave was the link I had in my bookmarks and the first one I tried. When it said “Server not found,” that’s when I tried googling it. They must have been doing some kind of system maintenance, because it certainly works now. Thanks for taking the time to let me know.
