Endangered Species Protection Sought for Rare Arizona Wildflower

River as pumping lowers the groundwater table connected to the plant’s wetland habitat. The groundwater pumping overdraft in the Fort Huachuca-Sierra Vista area is more than minus 5,000 acre-feet per year, with all recent hydrology studies predicting the demise of the San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area if the unsustainable pumping continues. “Saving Arizona eryngo is important because it’s an indicator plant for the health of imperiled desert wetland habitats that many plants and animals rely on,” said Tierra Curry, a senior scientist at the Center. “The eryngo’s conspicuous flowers are of high value for many pollinators, including hummingbirds.” The Fish and Wildlife Service must evaluate today’s petition and publish a finding within one year on whether protection for the plant may be warranted. If the initial finding is positive, the flower will receive a status review that will result in either a proposal for listing or a finding that listing is not warranted. Arizona eryngo is in the carrot family and can grow to be more than 5 feet tall, with large, cream-colored spherical flowers. It is also called ribbonleaf button snakeroot, and its scientific name is Eryngium sparganophyllum. The Arizona Native Plant Advisory Group ranks Arizona eryngo as one of the most endangered plants in the state. (Center for Biological Diversity )

Enjoying the Santa Monica Mountains: Looking for Wild Flowers

Park Service Even without flowers the sight of green hills after the winter rain is magical. To experience these beautiful meadows head to Rancho Sierra Vista in Newbury Park where there are a range of hikes from easy kid-friendly trails to the tough climb up to Mt Boney Peak. (This takes you into Pt Mugu State Park). Or visit the rolling hills of Cheeseboro and Palo Comado Canyons in Agoura Hills. And you can even walk to the ocean from the Conejo Valley. Just follow Sycamore Canyon from Rancho Sierra Vista for eight miles and you can enjoy a picnic at the beach. Wherever you go in the mountains we hope you enjoy spring in this beautiful part of the country! Charlotte Parry is Executive Director of the Santa Monica Mountains Fund, the official non-profit for the National Park Service in the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area supporting wildlife research, education, trails and facilities.  Website: www.samofund.orgFacebook: www.facebook.com/santamonicamountainsfundTwitter: @samofund  You may also like hefo_before: 0 hefo_after: 0 ...
