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.

This form does not yet contain any fields.

    Tree Surveys and Inventories

    Nomad Ecology conducts tree surveys and inventories to document and evaluate tree resources for large and small-scale projects. All tree surveys and inventories are conducted in compliance with local tree ordinances and according to industry standards.

    Nomad also prepares tree preservation plans that incorporate tree resource assessments, preservation recommendations, impact analyses, avoidance and mitigation measures, and methods for tree preservation during project implementation.

    In addition, Nomad Ecology conducts on-site, pre-construction, during-construction, and post-construction monitoring to ensure the health of trees identified for preservation.
