A federal agency is offering a Single Source Cooperative agreement to the University of Utah, specifically Red Butte Gardens, for developing crucial 5-year reviews for three federally listed plant species in Utah. These species include Welsh’s milkweed, San Rafael Cactus, and Winkler Cactus. This grant is designed to evaluate whether the status of these species has changed since their initial listing or since their respective recovery plans were written. The University of Utah will summarize and evaluate information from the recovery plans, current scientific research, and relevant surveys. Furthermore, the review will critically assess the adequacy of each recovery plan and thoroughly analyze the five statutory listing factors, ensuring robust management and conservation strategies for these vulnerable flora.

| Description: | This is a Notice of Intent to award a Single Source Cooperative agreement to the University of Utah, Red Butte Gardens. The University of Utah is a member of the Great Basin Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) for the purpose of developing a 5-year review for three listed plant species in Utah. These species include Welsh¿s milkweed (Asclepias welshii), San Rafael Cactus (Pediocactus despainii), and Winkler Cactus (Pediocactus winkleri).
These three plant species have recovery plans that need a status review to evaluate whether or not the species¿ status has changed since the time it was listed or since the recovery plan was written. A 5-year review summarizes and evaluates information provided in the recovery plan, current scientific research, and surveys related to the subspecies. A 5-year review also evaluates the adequacy of the recovery plan and explicitly analyzes the 5 listing factors. |
