Endangered Burke’s goldfields

This picture shows fruits of federally Endangered Burke’s goldfields (Lasthenia burkei), an annual species of the Sunflower family. It is identified by its one long pappus bristle and several short bristles. During surveys in 2010, Nomad Ecology botanists recorded a single population of this species within Lake Mendocino, which is owned and operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Burke’s goldfields had not been seen in Mendocino County since 1886, when this species was first discovered by J.H. Burke.

    Nomad Ecology has been working with PG&E in Big Sur since 2007 on projects aimed at protecting California Condors.

    Read about the project at the San Jose Mercury News, “Condors vs. power lines, and for once, the condors win” by Paul Rogers.
