NCDOT also attempts to track impacts to their roadside plant populations. There is no comparable roadside protection program in SC. Others have been transplanted out of areas in which impacts are unavoidable (occassionally involving consultation with FWS where there is a federal nexus). | |||||||||||

This identified several new populations including some with suitable (or restorable) habitat adjacent. Several populations have been transplanted away from development projects, USFWS is in the process of reviewing survivorship in these populations and assessing the relative threat to remaining roadside or other Rights-of-Ways populations.] | |||||||||||
| Schweinitz's Sunflower | F | 4 | Asheville Ecological Services Field Office (828) 258-3939 | Schweinitz's sunflower | Helianthus schweinitzii | 2 | 7 | Monitor existing populations | Ongoing Current | Prior to FY 1995 | U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service | State Conservation Agencies, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Office of Endangered Species, USFWS Regional Office 4 | Management | Labor type not yet selected | RNR2019 - NCPCP monitors four plant preserves with HESC. [CLWells, 6/29/2006: Several populations are being monitored, however the monitoring protocol often involves population estimates (through sampling) which have been conducted differently from year to year and site to site. Therefore, it is difficult to assess population and rangewide trends in the species. USFWS is working with partners to standardize monitoring protocol so that efforts to recover the species can be assessed.] | |||||||||||

Some of these plants have been temporarily housed at greenhouse or other facilities. This species is not threatened by the number of known individuals, rather it continues to be threatened by a lack of sites which are adequately protected and managed. Therefore, propagation of the species is a lower priority than protection and management of existing sites.] | |||||||||||
