Jenny will introduce the list and quickly show how to access the new Rare and Endangered plant list and sortable table on our website. Tanya Harvey, Bruce Newhouse, and Ed Alverson will introduce you to the species that they proposed for listing, detailing which habitats to look in and how to distinguish the species from look-alikes.
The R&E Committee convened a team of botanists in fall 2023 to review and add species to the outdated 2013 R&E plant list. The Emerald Chapter actively follows R&E plants in Lane County as doing so is critical to the preservation of rare plants and their habitats. The data for these plants are presented on our webpage under the Rare Plants section. Jenny Lippert will introduce this list and show how to quickly access the new R&E plant list and sortable table on our website. Tanya Harvey, Bruce Newhouse, and Ed Alverson will introduce you to the species that they proposed for listing, detailing which habitats to look for and how to distinguish the species from look-alikes so you can help us look for new populations this season.
