Plant Species of Cultural Importance for the Sawtooth National Forest ...................................C-6 PURPOSE OF THIS APPENDIX This appendix is designed to provide detailed information about habitat, lifeform, status, distribution, and habitat grouping for the Threatened, Proposed, Candidate, and Sensitive (current and proposed) plant species found on the Sawtooth National Forest. The detailed information is provided to enable managers to more efficiently direct the implementation of Botanical Resources goals, objectives, standards, and guidelines. Additionally, this appendix provides detailed information about the rare plant communities located on the Sawtooth National Forest and should provide additional support of Forest-wide objectives. Species of cultural importance for the Ecogroup have been identified and should be considered in project-level implementation where possible. <ul style="display: flex;"><li style="flex:1">Appendix C </li><li style="flex:1">Botanical Resources </li></ul>Table C-1.
