The Dudley Bluffs twinpod (<i>Physaria obcordata<\/i>) and the Dudley Bluffs bladderpod (<i>Lesquerella congesta<\/i>) are both listed as Threatened under the federal Endangered Species Act.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>CNHP staff joined volunteers from the Colorado Native Plant Society, and staff of the US Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Land Management, White River National Forest, and Colorado Natural Areas Program, at a campsite on the Ryan Creek Road. Botanists were able to sample 80 random points as a test of a new habitat model developed by CNHP. We hope that the data will allow us to further refine the model, and eventually lead to discoveries of additional occurrences of the two species.<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both;text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6647\" src=\"https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cnhpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2018\/11\/Piceance-May-2011-023.jpg\" width=\"320\" height=\"262\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cnhpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2018\/11\/Piceance-May-2011-023.jpg 320w, https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cnhpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2018\/11\/Piceance-May-2011-023-300x246.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-size: x-small\">Breakfast strategy meeting \u2013 assigning locations to field teams.&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-size: x-small\">Photo by Bernadette Kuhn.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both;text-align: center\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both;text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6648\" src=\"https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cnhpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2018\/11\/Piceance-081.jpg\" width=\"320\" height=\"280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cnhpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2018\/11\/Piceance-081.jpg 320w, https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cnhpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2018\/11\/Piceance-081-300x263.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-size: x-small\">The diminutive <i>Lesquerella congesta<\/i> in full bloom.&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-size: x-small\">Photo by Jill Handwerk<\/span>.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\">\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week, CNHP botanists Jill Handwerk, Bernadette Kuhn, Peggy Lyon, and Dee Malone participated in a search for [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":6647,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5,7,16],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-3611","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-botany","8":"category-collaborations","9":"category-threatened-and-endangered-species","10":"entry","11":"override"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cnhpblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3611","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cnhpblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cnhpblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cnhpblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cnhpblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3611"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cnhpblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3611\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cnhpblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6647"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cnhpblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3611"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cnhpblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3611"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cnhpblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3611"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
