BOT 413 - Special Topics in Biological Conservation: Rare Plant Conservation Plans

Students will learn to produce plant conservation plans that include assessment of known occurrences, evaluation of conservation status and needs, and advice for landowners and regulatory agencies charged with managing natural resources. Each student will choose a regionally rare California native plant and for which little or no information has yet been assembled. It is anticipated that some plans will be published in the Occasional Publications series of Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden.
