RCI was asked to verify and augment (if necessary) the Vegetation and Wildlife sections of the 1995 Bluffs Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for inclusion in the Initial Study for the Project. The Town requested site-specific analyses to: 1) Review and determine the applicability and conformance with the impact analysis and mitigation measures specified in the 1995 Bluffs EIR, and 2) Conduct additional site reconnaissance of the VTPM/UPA Project Site (approx 4.3 acres) as well as the two additional parcels (labeled LLA 08-001 Parcels 1 and 2) and the Parcel A, as shown on the attached Sheet 1. On September 8, 2010 two RCI Biologists completed an inspection and site assessment of the VTPM/UPA Project Area and reconnaissance of the 1995 Bluffs EIR Project Area. -

"National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary."
Intro 1996 National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands The Fish and Wildlife Service has prepared a National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary (1996 National List). The 1996 National List is a draft revision of the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1988 National Summary (Reed 1988) (1988 National List). The 1996 National List is provided to encourage additional public review and comments on the draft regional wetland indicator assignments. The 1996 National List reflects a significant amount of new information that has become available since 1988 on the wetland affinity of vascular plants. This new information has resulted from the extensive use of the 1988 National List in the field by individuals involved in wetland and other resource inventories, wetland identification and delineation, and wetland research. Interim Regional Interagency Review Panel (Regional Panel) changes in indicator status as well as additions and deletions to the 1988 National List were documented in Regional supplements. The National List was originally developed as an appendix to the Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Cowardin et al.1979) to aid in the consistent application of this classification system for wetlands in the field.. The 1996 National List also was developed to aid in determining the presence of hydrophytic vegetation in the Clean Water Act Section 404 wetland regulatory program and in the implementation of the swampbuster provisions of the Food Security Act. While not required by law or regulation, the Fish and Wildlife Service is making the 1996 National List available for review and comment. -

NHESP is responsible for the conservation and protection of hundreds of species that are not hunted, fished, trapped, or commercially harvested in the state. The Program's highest priority is protecting the 176 species of vertebrate and invertebrate animals and 259 species of native plants that are officially listed as Endangered, Threatened or of Special Concern in Massachusetts. Endangered species conservation in Massachusetts depends on you! A major source of funding for the protection of rare and endangered species comes from voluntary donations on state income tax forms. Contributions go to the Natural Heritage & Endangered Species Fund, which provides a portion of the operating budget for the Natural Heritage & Endangered Species Program. NHESP protects rare species through biological inventory, -
Propagation of Colorado Natives at Little Valley©
224 Combined Proceedings International Plant Propagators’ Society, Volume 58, 2008 Propagation of Colorado Natives at Little Valley © Brian Core Little Valley Wholesale Nursery, 13022 E. 136th Ave., Brighton, Colorado 80601 U.S.A. Email: [email protected] INTRODUCTION Little Valley Wholesale Nursery was established in 1979 with 15 acres of field and container stock and a staff of four people. Over the years, it has expanded to en- compass 141 acres and a peak-season staff of more than 150 people. The plant palette now includes more than 500 taxa of perennials, 275 taxa of shrubs, and over 130 taxa of trees. The area served by Little Valley’s distribution system includes Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona. Little Valley’s motto “The Rocky Mountain Standard” expresses the commitment to be the best wholesale plant dis- tributor in the western region. Native plants have been an important part of Little Valley’s plant mix for many years. Native plants are ideal for low-input sustainable landscapes. The Denver Metro area receives 8–15 inches of rain per year; in contrast, many eastern cities receive 50 or even 60 inches of annual precipitation. Colorado has a rapidly expanding population that threatens to deplete the water supply within a few decades. Many native plants require no supplemental water when established in the landscape; water that is not wasted on bluegrass lawns is water that can be used for human consumption. Native plants also require less frequent fertilizer and pesticide appli- cations; overuse of fertilizer and pesticide can lead to contamination of groundwater supplies with carcinogens. -

Medicinal Plants and EAV
Medicinal plants and EAV Directed phytotherapy These listed medicinal plants facilitate a safe start with the combination EAV & phytotherapy. The symptoms should be correctly classified and treated causally by an EAV practitioner, who also knows which parts of the plants are efficient, how they have to be prepared and who knows the Indications and contraindications of each medicinal plant and can precisely apply them in the energetic context. The best phytopharmaceutical is the one which is tested according the EAV and enables 100% personalized treatments.

Plants were monitored for five consecutive years in six study plots in Oulanka, northern Finland. Sex ratio, spatial distribution of sexes, flowering frequency, number of floral shoots and the number and weight of inflorescences were recorded. In addition, intensity of mycorrhizal fungi in the roots was assessed. Both sexes flowered each year with a similar frequency, but the overall genet sex ratio was strongly female-biased. The bivariate Ripley’s analysis of the sex distribution showed that within most plots sexes were randomly distributed except for one plot. Sexual dimorphism was expressed as larger floral and inflorescence production and heavier inflorescences in males. In addition, the roots of both sexes were colonised to a similar extent by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. The female sex-biased flowering ratios reported are not consistent among years and cannot be explained in terms of spatial segregation of the sexes or sex lability. -
