1. Obtaining information on life history, demographics, habitat
requirements, and watershed processes that will allow specification of
management and population goals and monitoring progress.
2. Managing watersheds to perpetuate or enhance viable populations of the
orchid.
3. Protecting and managing Ute ladies'-tresses populations in wet meadow,
seep, and spring habitats.
Actions Needed:
1. Define, manage, and restore watersheds, using watershed-based
interagency, interdisciplinary teams as evaluation and planning aids.
2. Implement interim recovery actions for orchid populations associated
with natural stream systems until watershed interdisciplinary teams are
able to conduct evaluations and make planning and management
recommendations.
3. Identify, protect, and manage populations that occur in wet meadow,
seep, and spring sites.
4. Develop orchid population and habitat recovery goals and delisting
criteria incorporating information from watershed evaluations and
genetic, life history, ecology, and habitat management studies.
5. Inventory remaining potential habitat.
6. Conduct genetic, life history, ecology, and habitat management studies.
7. Reintroduce orchids into appropriate sites.
8. Conduct public education on watershed and riparian area management, use
of recovery and interdisciplinary teams, and orchid ecology.
Date of Recovery: Unknown
Total Cost of Recovery: Unknown
