Overview
Roadmap for Conducting a Reintroduction
Part 4 describes the framework for conservation actions that can improve the chance of successful rare plant reintroductions to the wild.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Justify the Need
- Evaluate whether reintroduction is appropriate.
Logistics
- Collect from 50 plants and up to 3000 seeds.
- Make a plan.
- Review and follow laws.
- Collaborate with landowners.
- Procure funding.
Know the Species
- Record and share data.
- Gather information about the species’ biology, ecology, & distribution.
- Consider genetics of existing and source populations.
- Assess a suitable recipient site.
- Select and match source material to site.
- Use good horticulture.
- Begin with large founder size.
- Plan for population growth.
IMPLEMENTATION
Prepare the Site
- Label plants for long-term tracking.
- Plant in pattern and microsite conducive to good growth and pollination.
Logistics
- Choose best season for transplanting or seeding.
- Organize and bring all necessary materials and equipment to the site.
- Enlist enough people to help prepare and install the plants.
- Bring snacks and water.
- Limit the number of generations in cultivation.
AFTERWARDS
Aftercare
- Water, weed, and protect plants from herbivores and vandalism.
Monitoring Plan
- Managing long-term commitment.
- Analyze and report data.
- Document activities.
- Publish results.
