Photo by Megan Robinson. This technical note identifies the current threatened, endangered, candidate and proposed plant species listed by the U.S.D.I. Fish and Wildlife Service (USDI FWS) in Utah. Review your county list of threatened and endangered species and the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources Conservation Data Center (CDC) GIS T&E database to see if any of these species have been identified in your area of work. Additional information on these listed species can be found on the USDI FWS web site under “endangered species”. Consideration of these species during the planning process and determination of potential impacts related to scheduled work will help in the conservation of these rare plants. Contact your Plant Material Specialist, Plant Materials Center, State Biologist and Area Biologist for additional guidance on identification of these plants and NRCS responsibilities related to the Endangered Species Act. 2 Table of Contents Map of Utah Threatened, Endangered and Candidate Plant Species 4 Threatened & Endangered Species Profiles Arctomecon humilis Dwarf Bear-poppy ARHU3 6 Asclepias welshii Welsh’s Milkweed ASWE3 8 Astragalus ampullarioides Shivwits Milkvetch ASAM14 10 Astragalus desereticus Deseret Milkvetch ASDE2 12 Astragalus holmgreniorum Holmgren Milkvetch ASHO5 14 Astragalus limnocharis var.

Listed as the Gooseberry allotment by the Manti-La Sal National Forest (MLSNF), it has had a different name since 2012: White Mesa Cultural and Conservation Area (WMCCA), with reference to the nearby Ute Mountain Ute Tribe town of White Mesa. It also has a different man- agement situation: No cattle grazing, at least until 2021. Under a Memo of Under- Meadow diversity at work: Hesperostipa co- standing between the Ute Mountain Ute mata and Koeleria macrantha...and one Tribe, Grand Canyon Trust, and the Forest sedge. Photo by Mary O'Brien. Service, this is the one area in the entire 1.2-million acre MLSNF that is being permitted to be free of livestock grazing. The cattle-free status of WMCCA was one of three reasons Sue Smith, a retired comput- er scientist and high school science teacher living in Prescott, Arizona, decided to study its native grasses for a Utah State University masters degree in Natural Resource Management.
