Unfortunately, the P. hirtus populations at the TNC popcornswale preserve have faltered due to other competitive vegetation and the change in hydrology. The Service is funding the control of shrubs and nonnative invasive plants at the Orenco Ponds and Southside Swale this coming season.

The City of Sutherlin, USFWS, ODA, and the Native Plant Society of Oregon entered into a Conservatoin Agreement to manage the plant at the city's Festival Grounds. So far attempts to control reed canarygrass at the site are not going well. We may contract help in the near future.

The Service shares the resposibility for this action with Roseburg BLM, DSWCD, ODOT, TNC, and City of Sutherlin. From FY 2018 - 2021, the Service will assist in the restoration of the TNC Popcornswale and Douglas Soil and Water's Southside Slough rough popcornflower introduction sites. The Service funded efforts to control reed canary grass from 2015 - 2018 in Sutherlin's Red Rock Park.

Four of these populations appear to be extremely vigorous, one is stable or slightly increasing and the other two are dwindling or uncertain. A new population was discovered at Ford's Pond in Sutherlin in 2017. Although the population appeared to expand in 2018, it completely dried out before seed was mature.

The fence and an interpretive sign was constructed in summer 2010 and has improved the aesthetic value of the population for public display. In 2012 and 2013, the Service has worked with two private land owners interested in reserving their properties and discussed possibilities for rough popcornlfower introductin.
