  • Wildlife: Regional Forester Sensitive Species (Rfss)-Plants

    Wildlife: Regional Forester Sensitive Species (Rfss)-Plants

    WILDLIFE: REGIONAL FORESTER SENSITIVE SPECIES (RFSS)-PLANTS (1) Overview Several sensitive plant projects involving monitoring were planned in 2005. These projects were all either habitat improvement projects or monitoring of a mitigation that was required for another project. However, due either to lack of a sufficient burn window or to litigation, only one of these projects was implemented: Kawishiwi Admin Site Botrychium Transplant. Lack of a burn window prevented treatments from being implemented for a Virginia EIS moonwort project and a Trygstad Sale barren strawberry project, and litigation of the Tomahawk EA prevented implementation of a Botrychium habitat improvement project. Baseline monitoring has been conducted at all of these project sites, and follow – up monitoring would be conducted after treatments occur. For the Kawishiwi Admin Site Botrychium Transplant, a large population of the rare matricary grapefern (Botrychium matricariifolium) was growing where the parking lot was planned for the new Admin Site. To mitigate impacts from the project, we attempted to transplant individuals to 2 nearby sites using a tree spade as well as by hand using a shovel. Transplanting occurred in Fall 2004, and monitoring occurred in Summer 2005. Survival of individuals was measured in plots. 65% of transplanted individuals survived across all plots. Monitoring will be repeated in 2006. 1) Matricary grapefern population that will 2) Tree spade in process of transplanting 3) Completed transplant plug be impacted by parking lot construction WL.

The purpose of the SIU campus tree care plan is to identify the policies, procedures, and practices that are used in establishing, protecting, maintaining, and removing trees on the SIU campus. The overall goal of the plan is to ensure a safe, attractive, and sustainable campus urban forest. The specific objectives of the plan are: Ensure proper species selection, high-quality nursery stock acquisition, and industry- consensus planting procedures. Promote species diversity and proper age structure in the tree population. Protect high-value campus trees during construction and renovation projects. Promote tree health and safety utilizing International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) best management practices when maintaining campus trees, and the American National Standards Institute’s (ANSI) safety standards. Ensure that trees are reasonably replaced when there is mortality due to weather, pest infestations, injury, or construction displacement. Encourage campus community members to respect and value the campus urban forest. Public outreach that promotes urban forestry; awareness, sustainability, and serves as a model urban forest for communities in the Southern Illinois region. II.

    Louisiana Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategy

    LOUISIANA COMPREHENSIVE WILDLIFE CONSERVATION STRATEGY Louisiana Department of Wildlife & Fisheries September 2005 LOUISIANA COMPREHENSIVE WILDLIFE CONSERVATION STRATEGY FINAL DRAFT SEPT 2005 LA CWCS FINAL DRAFT SEPT 2005 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Louisiana serves as a permanent or temporary home to over 900 species of vertebrate animals and an unknown number of invertebrates. From its diverse coastal marshes to its interior pine-dominated landscapes, the state offers habitat to a variety of wildlife in numbers seldom exceeded elsewhere. These rich areas provide refuge to 24 million migrant songbirds on a typical spring day and 5 million waterfowl during an average winter. They’re home to some 200 rookeries of wading birds and seabirds, some arguably the largest in North America. Biologically diverse as it may be, many of the species and habitats critical to wildlife are declining. Through the development of the Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategy (CWCS), we have reviewed the status of all wildlife species known in Louisiana, and have identified 240 species of concern that need specific conservation attention. This list of 173 vertebrates and 67 invertebrates is not limited to nongame species. Bobwhite Quail, Northern Pintail, and King Rail are examples of hunted species that are also in decline. Data indicate that the take from hunters is not the cause of this decline Alternatively, habitat loss is the true source of the decline of these species and numerous nongame species. Factors that threaten habitat also influence populations of these declining species, and these threats must be addressed in order to stop the declines. As an attempt to meet this challenge, the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) broadened its constituency base in the development of the Louisiana CWCS.
