Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 136 p. Abstract Land management based on sound science is key to increased productivity and bio­ logical diversity along the U.S./Mexico border in southeastern Arizona and south­ western New Mexico. The USDA Forest Service's Rocky Mountain Research Station and the non-government Malpai Borderlands Group have sponsored studies andre­ source inventories in the region. A meeting in Douglas, Arizona, was held to inform the scientific, land management, and local communities of progress. These proceed­ ings contain abstracts from the presentations. The reports cover a variety of topics including program overviews, resource inventories, landscape changes, fire and local ecosystems, range restoration, and species ecology and management.

Our work radiates from the Rockies to the Great Plains, Mexico and beyond. Our mission is advanced through sound science, achieved through empowering people, realized through stewardship and sustained through partnerships. Together, we are improving native bird populations, the land and the lives of people. Goals 1. Guide conservation action where it is needed most by conducting scientifically rigorous monitoring and research on birds and their habitats within the context of their full annual cycle 2. Inspire conservation action in people by developing relationships through community outreach and science-based, experiential education

Grasslands ecosystems, endangered species, and sustainable ranching in the Mexico-U.S. borderlands: Conference proceedings. RMRS-P-40. Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 126 p. Abstract The semi-arid grasslands in the Mexico-United States border region are relatively intact and provide one of the best opportunities in North America to preserve and nurture an extensive series of grassland ecosystems. The conference was organized to increase appreciation for the importance of the remaining semi-arid grasslands and to create a platform for expanding the integration of natural and social sciences among individuals and organizations. The conference was attended by ranchers, environmentalists, academics, and agency personnel from both nations. Main topics include grassland ecology and biodiversity, management and conservation, and sustainable borderland ranching. Endangered species management, especially of black-tailed prairie dogs (Cynomys ludovicianus), was an important topic. Oral presentations were in English or Spanish, with simultaneous translations, and the papers have been printed in both languages. The conference revealed the ties between ecological processes and environmental conditions in the Borderland grasslands and the cultural and economic priorities of the human communities who depend on them. This recognition should enable interested people and groups to work together to achieve satisfactory solutions to the challenges of the future.

Hill, L. schaffneriana ssp. recurva FAMILY: Apiaceae AUTHOR, PLACE OF PUBLICATION: A.W. Hill, J. Linn. Soc. Bot. 47: 525-551. 1927. TYPE LOCALITY: Santa Cruz Valley near Tucson, Pima County, Arizona, U.S.A. TYPE SPECIMEN: LT: GH. C.G. Pringle s.n. 19 May 1881. LT: US. ST: NY, GH. TAXONOMIC UNIQUENESS: In the genus Lilaeopsis, the species schaffneriana is 1 of 5 species in North America, and contains only 1 variety recurva. According to Affolter (1985), “The genus Lilaeopsis Greene contains approximately 20 species. It is well developed in the temperate zones of North America, South America, Australia and New Zealand. 6 or 7 species recognized in North America.” According to NatureServe (2003), “The USFWS listed this taxon as Lilaeopsis schaffneriana ssp. recurva (Federal Register, Jan. 6, 1997). As of 11/31/99, L. schaffneriana var. recurva is used in its List of Endangered and Threatened Plants. The latter rank, is also used by Kartesz (1999). However, subspecies seems to be the rank used by Affolter (1985, p. 61), and is accepted in the Gray Index (online, 8/2000).” It is also used by the Missouri Botanical Garden (2003). DESCRIPTION: Herbaceous, semi-aquatic to aquatic perennial with cylindrical, wavy, yellowish green, slender hollow leaves borne individually or in clusters, that grow from the nodes of creeping rhizomes; inconspicuous septa at irregular intervals.

It is scenically nestled between the Chiricahua and Peloncilla Mountain ranges at the south end of the San Simon Valley on U.S. Highway 80. 40 miles southwest is historic Douglas , Arizona and the border of Mexico. Rodeo, New Mexico, is 12 miles to the north. The Kimble Ranch and one neighboring ranch share the control of the access from Highway 80 with a locked gate. The Kimble Ranch is part of an area located in what is nationally known as the Malpai Borderlands, thought to be one of the most biologically diverse habitats in North America. Rodeo N.M. and Portal, Arizona, 21 miles northwest of the Ranch are popular locations for birds watchers along with a diverse population of flora and fauna.The presumed location for the surrender of Geronimo is at the end of the Ranch road and the Kimble Ranch owner's rock house was the headquarters for the famous San Simon Cattle Company in the late 1890's. The Ranch is home to numerous Indian ruins, hidden canyons, deer, quail, antelope, and javalina. Due to the natural beauty of the grasslands and mountains it has been the site of numerous commercial photographic features including Marlboro and Arizona Highways.
