ODA provided recommendations for the recovery units and monitoring methodologies to determine if recovery criteria are met. The report also updates the historic range of the species. The Service evaluated the resiliency of all 18 populations to update the Species Status Assessment in FY 2021. In 2022, the Service visited 10 populations and ODA visited 2 additional populations. In 2023 the Service visited 8 populations and ODA visited 6 populations. Currently 8 populations meet recovery criteria of 5,000 plants. | |||||||||||

The nine sites include Horsepasture 2, Red Rock Park, Ford's Pond, Orenco Ponds, TNC/ODOT popcornswale Reserve, ODOT Wilbur, Yoncalla S, BLM Westgate, and BLM Middle Barn. Rough popcornflower populations will have reserve status if protected and meet recovery criteria of 5,000 plants. Currently we consider 13 of 19 populations protected. | |||||||||||

The Horsepasture 2 can be considered a reserve since it has been promoting rough popcornflower for over 25 years and there are no plans to develop the site. We have no updates for this action in FY2023. | |||||||||||

In 2013, Service staff spoke to high school students about rough popcornflower on one occasion. A sign was installed at Ford's Pond that mentions the City park has rough popcornflower. More interpretive signs are planned along a recreational bike trail at Ford's Pond to be completed in 2023. | |||||||||||

A new plant population was found at Ford's Pond in 2017, despite surveys at the same location in previous years. No new populations have been discovered since 2017. Between 2017 and 2023 no new naturally occurring populations were found; however a new augmentation site was established in fall of 2022 at Ford's Pond. | |||||||||||

TNC continues to aggressively pull, mow, and clips seed heads to control creeping thistle, reed canary grass (RCG) and teasel. An effort to remove RCG at Red Rock Park has been successful, but needs constant attention. The project allowed rough popcornflower to locally expand into areas where the RCG was removed. In 2023 creeping thistle was present at all BLM populations at the North Bank Habitat Management Area and requires almost year round attention and teasel is a problem at Ford's Pond. | |||||||||||

Unfortunately, the rough popcornflower populations have faltered due to other competitive vegetation and the change in hydrology. The Service and Phoenix School are are planning a new restoration effort to control trees, shrubs and nonnative invasive plants at Ford's Pond, Red Rock Park, Douglas Soil and Water Conservation District property, TNC and DSWCD properties from 2023 to 2025. Oregon ash can be problematic in some cases as well. | |||||||||||

The City of Sutherlin, USFWS, ODA, and the Native Plant Society of Oregon updated the Conservation Agreement in 2023 to manage the plant at the City's Red Rock Park and Ford's Pond. So far attempts to control reed canarygrass and teasel at the site are improving. | |||||||||||

The most recent seed collection was in 2021 to propagate plants to introduce at a new locations on BLM, TNC, City of Sutherlin (Ford's Pond) and ODOT lands. The project was completed in 2022. New initiatives for seed collecting will be made in late summer 2024. See Actions 1.2.2 and 2.2. | |||||||||||

A full plant inventory was conducted at the Sutherlin Red Rock Park plant site from 2007 to 2014 and 2016 to 2022. A full plant inventory at DSWCD's Southside Swale population was conducted in FY 2009, 2010, 2014, 2016, 2021 and 2022. The TNC sites are monitored annually, but the ODOT sites are inventoried biennially. In 2023, Fords Pond, Red Rocks Park, Westgate, Hawthorn, Wilbur Mitigation Site, TNC, and Orenco Ponds and Nonpareil were monitored. | |||||||||||

Both introductions were successful and became populations reserves we can count towards recovery. The Service and ODA recently visited a site in the Sutherlin Creek watershed (Cooper Creek) that has apparent suitable habitat. This year (2023) will begin site preparation as a new effort for popcornflower establishment. | |||||||||||

The Service shares the responsibility for this action with Roseburg BLM, DSWCD, ODOT, TNC, and City of Sutherlin. From FY 2018 - 2021, the Service assisted 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 and 2021-2024 at Sutherlin's Red Rock Park. | |||||||||||

The plant needs a sponsorship so that the seed can be maintained. Oregon State University maintains a modest amount of seed at their nursery that will be used for future introduction projects. Seed collecting is expected to increase in 2024, so that all or most of the 18 populations have seed in storage. | |||||||||||

ODA performed some preliminary studies and determined that rough popcornflower is visited by a wide range of pollinators (Amsberry and Meinke 2001, p. 19). No studies were funded between FY 04 to FY 21. This action is not a high priority at this time. | ||||||||||||

A rough popcornflower recovery workshop meeting was held in 2023. Staff from DSWCD plan to do outreach to some of their neighbors to find suitable habitat for reintroduction. In 2023, a landowner with a history of Service partnerships, stepped forward with a desire to introduce rough popcornflower to a patch of land they are not planning to use for agriculture. |
