The USDA Forest Service partnered with the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians in Oklahoma on an exciting new community science project to map rivercane ecosystems. Rivercane (Arundinaria gigantea) is a relative of bamboo native to the southeastern U.S. and widely used in basketry and other traditional arts. This project aims to increase knowledge of and access to rivercane.
