Sidalcea nelsoniana Experimental Plots

Last week an IAE team monitored Nelson’s checkermallow at experimental plots to compare the success of planting seeds, plugs or rhizomes, four years after establishment. The plots were at 6 Wetlands Reserve Program (NRCS) conservation easements in the Willamette Valley. The summer field crew members were Scott Orr, Emma MacDonald and Amy Comstock, and IAE staff Erin Gray and Peter Moore.
