fairly thorough

Population

EO Number: 
43
EO ID: 
27859
Population Area: 
3083 sq. feet (0.07 acre, or 0.03 hectare)
More potential habitat to survey: 
unsure
Suggestions for other areas to survey: 
Between Bogus Basin ski area and Boise Peak, surveys were conducted in 2016 along the Forest Service road (#275) for the Clear Robie vegetation management project. This population of LESA was discovered during those surveys. While many potential sites along the road were examined in 2016, there is a possibility of additional populations along this general alignment. Due to heavy shrub growth, many areas could not be accessed in a timely way in 2016.
Monitoring or research needs for this population: 
Additional surveys should be done along the road and along ridges extending from the Boise ridge above elevations of 5,700 feet.
Additional population comments: 
To date, this is the only population to be found and while it is off a busy road, it is well hidden
