Goal: Maintain or enhance existing Gander's ragwort occurrences to ensure multiple conserved occurrences with self sustaining populations to increase resilience to environmental and demographic stochasticity, maintain genetic diversity, and ensure persistence over the long term (>100 years) in chaparral vegetation communities.
Management units: 3, 4
Beginning in 2018, inspect Gander's ragwort occurrences on Conserved Lands (see occurrence table) every 3 years using the regional rare plant IMG monitoring protocol to record abundance and collect habitat and threats covariate data to determine management needs.
Action | Statement | Action status | Projects |
---|---|---|---|
IMP-1 | Based upon occurrence status and threats, determine management needs including whether routine management or more intensive management is warranted. | on hold | |
IMP-2 | Modify IMG protocol to improve mapping and estimating abundance of large occurrences with difficult to delineate boundaries. In 2018 focus on mapping occurrence boundaries. | on hold | |
IMP-3 | Submit project metadata, monitoring datasets and management recommendations to the MSP Web Portal. | on hold |

Management units: 3, 4
Beginning in 2017, conduct routine management actions identified through the IMG monitoring in 2016 and subsequent years at Gander's ragwort occurrences on Conserved Lands (see occurrence table). Depending on the type and level of threat, management should be conducted as needed, not necessarily every year, and using BMPs with precautions to do no harm.
