This grant offers funding for a critical sensitive plant species survey to be conducted at the Naval Air Facility El Centro (NAF El Centro). The primary objective of this initiative is to identify and document the presence of specific rare and sensitive plant species within the facility’s extensive grounds. The survey will focus intently on four particular species: Thurber’s pilostyles (Pilostyles thurberi), sand food (Pholisma sonorae), Pierson’s milkvetch (Astragalus magdalenae var. peirsonii), and Wiggins’ croton (Croton wigginsii). This essential research aims to enhance understanding of local biodiversity, support conservation efforts for these vulnerable flora, and ensure the ecological integrity of the NAF El Centro area. Such detailed botanical surveys are vital for environmental stewardship and inform future land management decisions, safeguarding unique desert ecosystems.
