Malheur wirelettuce (Stephanomeria malheurensis) reintroduction and seed bulking: 2011 recovery efforts Preppyared by Jordan Brown, Rebecca Currin and Robert Meinke for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Region 1 (Grant No. 13420-06-J632) March 31, 2012 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The authors would like to thank U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), the Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for providing project funding in 2011. We would also like to acknowledge the dedication and hard work of the members of the Stephanomeria malheurensis working group: Alan Mauer and Jess Wenick (USFWS); Caryn Menicke (BLM); Les Gottlieb, Vera Gottlieb and Stu Garrett (Native Plant Society of Oregon); Ed Guerrant (Berry Botanic Garden); and Kelly Amsberry (ODA). The long hours of field and greenhouse work would never have been possible without the following talented and enthusiastic 2011 ODA field/greenhouse crew members and volunteers: Benjahmin Boschee, Jordan Brown, Ryan Woolverton, Elizabeth Thorley, Kassandra Reuss-Schmidt, Matt Groberg, and Courtney Wilson. Finally, we are very grateful to the Dr. Ken Johnson lab for the loan of their incubator for seed germination. All photos were taken by ODA staff and volunteers, with special thanks to Ryan Woolverton for his artistic documentation of this species and the process of working towards its recovery.
