Herbicides used in Fall 2022 have resulted in less flowers on Warren Ranch except on upper pasture and adjacent to the stream where sprayer could not spray. CPC indicates the upper pasture was sprayed in 2021 and was the reason there were no plants there in 2022. They believe the populations that did not flower in 2023 will return in 2024. | ||

Matt Stahman and Teresa Holbrook did the most management of volunteers and getting rest rooms onsite and transportation of people and equipment to internal areas. Actual Counts of Warren Ranch Upper Meadows population was 135,976 plants on 16 patches. Warren Ranch Stream sites were not counted but mapped to review their recovery from herbicide treatments that eliminated flowers recruiting in 2023, and this area appears to be slowly recovering with lower densities at an estimated 108,302 plants in 7 patches. Warren Ranch Corner East Side area was also not counted in 2024, but reviewed for recovery from herbicide treatments in 2023 with an estimated 60,244 plants possible in their 12 patches. Jack Roads was monitored at the 24 original Smein Sites plus new sites between the original sites and at the south part of the property. Most of the upper and lower sites were counted and grids counted but the middle sites were only partially counted and density estimates applied to those we could not give the time required for full counts. the total of all 43 Jack Roads prairie sites resulted in 418,426 plants. total of warren ranch and jack roads total counts and estimated counts resulted in 724,913 plants for the largest number of plants in all the years of monitoring these prairies. | ||

HCFCD plans to clear out trees in same soil type and see if seed dispersal naturally migrates to these open areas so that the existing populations do not have to be preserved. this is public lands not federal lands. Roberto Vega discovered the plants, verified by Jan Culbertson and later by Jason Singhurst in 2024 but Jonathan Holley is the new contact since Mr. Vega is moved to another agency. | ||

Harris County has not provided funding or managed the land to mow or remove invasive species. Armand Bayou has not done any management of land except near the required fire break around the fence lines and has not allowed USFWS a gate combination or to provide mowing support from refuges as previously discussed in 2022. Harris County counted the plants in 2023 but has not provided that data regardless of multiple requests from FWS. the small amount of mowing along edges of property has allowed plants to recruit in some of the sites where no plants were found in past. this situation is concerning because the County and Armand Bayou are not managing the land for recovery of the species at this location. | ||

Meet the Texas prairie dawn-flower (Hymenoxys texana). It is an endangered plant that blooms between February and April and every flower matters. VIDEO: Meet Jan, our expert leading recovery of the Texas prairie dawn-flower https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIfehRK3C8Y Federal and state partners have conducted Texas Prairie Dawn flower surveys since the 1980s. Private landowners have assisted with these surveys wherever it was found on their properties. In 2022, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Texas Coastal Ecological Services Field Office conducted an inventory to gather population numbers and understand threats to the plant’s continued survival. Loss of habitat to development and exotic and invasive species are the main threats to this diminutive plant whose continued existence is an indicator of healthy ecosystems in Texas. It is with the help of private landowners and other important federal and state partners that the Texas prairie dawn-flower will continue to live on. | ||
