    Rare Plant Survey of San Juan Public Lands, Colorado 2005 Prepared by Colorado Natural Heritage Program 254 General Services Building Colorado State University Fort Collins CO 80523 Rare Plant Survey of San Juan Public Lands, Colorado 2005 Prepared by Peggy Lyon and Julia Hanson Colorado Natural Heritage Program 254 General Services Building Colorado State University Fort Collins CO 80523 December 2005 Cover: Imperiled (G1 and G2) plants of the San Juan Public Lands, top left to bottom right: Lesquerella pruinosa, Draba graminea, Cryptantha gypsophila, Machaeranthera coloradoensis, Astragalus naturitensis, Physaria pulvinata, Ipomopsis polyantha, Townsendia glabella, Townsendia rothrockii. Executive Summary This survey was a continuation of several years of rare plant survey on San Juan Public Lands. Funding for the project was provided by San Juan National Forest and the San Juan Resource Area of the Bureau of Land Management. Previous rare plant surveys on San Juan Public Lands by CNHP were conducted in conjunction with county wide surveys of La Plata, Archuleta, San Juan and San Miguel counties, with partial funding from Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO); and in 2004, public lands only in Dolores and Montezuma counties, funded entirely by the San Juan Public Lands. Funding for 2005 was again provided by San Juan Public Lands. The primary emphases for field work in 2005 were: 1. revisit and update information on rare plant occurrences of agency sensitive species in the Colorado Natural Heritage Program (CNHP) database that were last observed prior to 2000, in order to have the most current information available for informing the revision of the Resource Management Plan for the San Juan Public Lands (BLM and San Juan National Forest); 2.

  • Panorama from the First Part of These Meadows, with Snowdon Peak In
    Panorama from the first part of these meadows, with Snowdon Peak in the background center. Notice how much closer to the peak we had been earlier. ! " The flowers along this part of the trail were similar to those we had seen near Little Molas Lake, which is across the valley from here. ! " Here the use trail is rejoining the main trail. To the right in this photo and in the background is the Grand Turk. I think Sultan Mountain may be just barely visible to the left of it. ! " Looking back at Snowdon Peak as dark clouds are starting to roll in. ! " ! We decided to see how far we could get along the Crater Lake Trail before it started to rain. Interestingly, this trail is not much more worn-in than the use trail to Snowdon Meadows. ! " This trail soon passed through some nice patches of wildflowers, including the tall plants we had seen earlier in the second meadows, which I think are called Colorado False Hellebore, or Skunk Cabbage. I'm not sure what the tall purple flowers are called. ! " The ominous clouds in the distance made for interesting photographs of this area, but we were concerned about thunderstorms. ! " ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! This incredible bonsai-like tree can be seen alongside the trail. It is only 2-3 feet tall and is growing straight out of this rock. ! " The trail briefly descends again through the trees, and we lose our nice views of the valley. ! " Through here is where we saw the best (i.e., densest and most variety of) wildflowers of the hike.

  • Colorado Rare Plant Conservation Strategy
    Plants have too long been hidden in plain sight. The prospect of continued threats to the nation’s plant life, coupled with the large proportion of the flora already at risk, argues that now is the time to bring plants out from COLO R A D O RA R E P L A nt the background, and to put the conservation needs of our nation’s flora COnsERVATION StrATEgy squarely into view. -Stein and Gravuer, NatureServe, 2008 Printed on recycled paper. BY: THE RARE PLAnt COnsERVATION InITIATIVE | MAY 2009 Plants are essential to both wildlife and humans through provision of key services such as food, shelter, fiber, and medicine ... protecting our wild flora goes to the heart of the human condition. Yet without focused conservation attention to the growing plight of the nation’s plant species, we are at risk of losing significant portions of our wild heritage, and the ecological resilience that comes with that diversity. -Stein and Gravuer, NatureServe, 2008 North Park phacelia © Frank Weston RECOMMENDED CITATION Neely, B., S.

    "Made available under NASA sponsorship in the interest of early and wide dis- semination of Earth Resources Survey Program information and without liability for any use made thereof." iEMI-ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT E 7.3 1 0.0. 3. For the Period Beginning July 1, 1972 and 6 - /2god/ Ending December 31, 1972 A. Title of Investigation: An Interdisciplinary Analysis of ERTS Data for Colorado Mountain Environments Using ADP Techniques ERTS-1 Proposal No: SR030/040 B. GSFC Identification Number: UN103 Principal Investigator: R. M. Hoffer The following material represents a summary of research efforts over the past six months at both LARS/Purdue University and INSTAAR/University of Colorado. Principal work emphasis over this period has been placed on (a) the location, acquisition, and preparation of baseline information necessary for the computer analysis and (b) refinement of techniques for analysis of MSS data obtained from ERTS. Analysis of ERTS data has been performed for several test areas both within and outside the Colorado test sites. Analysis of the first frame of data collected by the ERTS multispectral scanner system, over the Lake Texoma area has proven very valuable for determining the best procedures to follow in working with and analyzing ERTS data. Much of the early analysis effort concentrated on this particular data set. At present, CCTs from two data sets have been received for the Colorado test sites, and the CCT data for two more images has been ordered. C. The major problems involving this investigation at present are (a) lack of good quality, cloud-free CCT data over the two test sites and (b) the lack of small-scale aerial photography over the central Colorado area and the San Juan Test Site area.
