RECOVERY PLAN FOR - U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

.
Careful observation may point to some simple methods to
promote seedling establishment. These may include some
careful weeding and dispersal of seeds to more favorable
parts of the management sites. If water is available near
any of the sites, portable pumps (perhaps solar powered)
might be used to provide irrigation water for a few months
during times of germination and seedling establishment.
Care should be taken not to develop a vegetation requiring
constant irrigation. Due to dangerously low numbers of
plants, high priority should be given to increasing the
numbers of Isodendrion hosakae in existing populations and
to establishing new populations at Site #4, Site #5, and
Site #6.
321. Expand populations at Site #1
See narrative for task #32.
322. Expand populations at Site #2
See narrative for task #32.
323. Establish Lipochaeta venosa and expand
Isodendrion hosakae at Site #3
See narrative for task #32.
324.
Establish Isodendrion hosakae and expand
Lipochaeta venosa populations at Site #4.
See narrative for task #32.
325.
Establish Isodendrion hosakae and expand
Lipochaeta venosa populations at Site #5.
See narrative for task #32.
326.
Establish Isodendrion hosakae
Lipochaeta venosa populations
and
at
expand
Site #6.
See narrative for task #32. Colonies should be
started on the slopes of cinder cone #6 because it is
presently growing a few hundred meters north of the
puu.
327. Expand population at Site #7
See narrative for task #32 regarding expansion of the
Lipochaeta venosa population. The introduction of
Isodendrion hosakae at this site is not considered
appropriate because it does not occur in this area
