  • "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.

Alpine Garden Club of British Columbia Seed Exchange 2019 Alpine Garden Club of British Columbia Seed Exchange 2019 We are very grateful to all those members who have made our Seed Exchange possible through donating seeds. The number of donors was significantly down this year, which makes the people who do donate even more precious. We particularly want to thank the new members who donated seed in their first year with the Club. A big thank-you also to those living locally who volunteer so much time and effort to packaging and filling orders. READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE FILLING IN THE REQUEST FORM. PLEASE KEEP YOUR SEED LIST, packets will be marked by number only. Return the enclosed request form by mail or, if you have registered to do so, by the on-line form, as soon as possible, but no later than DECEMBER 8. Allocation: Donors may receive up to 60 packets and non-donors 30 packets, limit of one packet of each selection. Donors receive preference for seeds in short supply (USDA will permit no more than 50 packets for those living in the USA). List first choices by number only, in strict numerical order, from left to right on the order form. Enter a sufficient number of second choices in the spaces below, since we may not be able to provide all your first choices. Please print clearly.

The article on Dodecatheon was researched by Mrs. Sylvia Taylor and Ms. Geraldine Guppy. Editorial and layout assistance was provided by Ms. Geraldine Guppy and Mrs. Jean Marchant. Cliff Erosion Control with Plants CHRISTOPHER J. MARCHANT For at least half a century, perhaps several centuries, the 300 foot high sea cliffs at Point Grey have been gradually eroding. Aerial photographs indicate this, and they also show that in recent years an increasing area has been affected. It appears that there has always been a somewhat cyclical variation in the vegetation cover, which has advanced and receded coincident with fluctuation in cliff stability. However, this natural geological phenomenon has now become a major cause for concern to the University of British Columbia, since parts of the university campus sit strategically on the summit of the cliffs, and some of the land and large buildings (among them the temporary headquarters of the Botanical Garden) may be threatened with eventual subsidence into the ocean.

  • Site Locations and Description
    April 29, 2019 11719 Amy Newby Director, Parks & Recreation City of San Carlos 600 Elm Street San Carlos, California 94070 Subject: Biological Resources Constraints Assessment for the City of San Carlos Fuel Management Project, San Carlos, San Mateo County, California Dear Ms. Newby: At the request of the City of San Carlos, Dudek conducted a biological constraints assessment for the proposed Fuel Management Project (project) that includes four distinct public parks in the City of San Carlos, San Mateo County, California: Big Canyon Park, Crestview Park, Eaton Park, and Highlands Park (Figures 1 and 2). The currently proposed project would entail a series of vegetation management activities that will abate hazardous vegetation in the four city parks. These parks are largely undeveloped with walking trails that intersect the landscape. Specific goals of the vegetation management project include the following: (1) conduct targeted fuel reduction treatments using hand crews, masticators, track chippers, herbicides, and herbivory to reduce highly combustible underbrush and chaparral within the defensible space zone of adjacent private ownerships, (2) create strategic fuel breaks using hand crews, masticators, track chippers, and herbivory to reduce highly combustible underbrush and chaparral along access roads and ridgelines, and (3) remove dead/diseased and non-native trees as part of a comprehensive fuel reduction effort. As part of the assessment, a reconnaissance-level field survey was conducted to identify and characterize existing biological conditions within the project site including the nature and extent of both common and sensitive natural vegetation communities, wetlands and other aquatic features potentially under the jurisdiction of state and federal resource agencies, and the potential for special-status plant and animal species to occur.
