Abstract: Objective(s)
The objectives of this project are three fold: to 1) continue monitoring a reintroduction project initiated in 1996, begun when there were no known populations on federal land, 2) continue monitoring demographically (since 2008) a small, naturally occurring population first found on federal land after the initial reintroduction was outplanted, and 3) augment the existing, small naturally occurring population with genetically appropriate propagules, and monitor their subsequent fates. All three of these objectives are called for in the federal recovery plan for this species. Successfully reestablishment of a population and management and augmentation of the existing natural population is an important step in helping this species eventually become down listed.
