Plumas Unified School District/Plumas National Forest Storrie Fire Restoration Agreement:Storrie Fire Restoration Agreement • March 5th, 2016
Contract Type FiledMarch 5th, 2016In October, students under direct supervision of forest botanists, planted over 400 sprouts of the rare Webber’s milkvetch (Astragalus webberi). Students from Greenville High School Greenhouse class propagated them from forest seed stock. Phase one of the Rich Fire Restoration Astragalus Webberi Habitat Enhancement Project was to grow, monitor, and plant the seeds. Prior to planting in the field, students hand-watered, labeled, and monitored the green- house stock. The students’ efforts, coupled with fortuitous rain, aided the restoration of these endangered plants on the Rich Fire landscape. The rare and endangered plants just might have a fighting chance at continued survival due to their efforts!
