U.S. Fish & Wildlife ServiceThis is a dataset representing the polygonal boundaries for the golden paintbrush (Castilleja levisecta) as understood by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. The complete layer can be found on ECOS. Castilleja levisecta is a member of the Orabanchaceae family. Golden paintbrush was known from 11 populations at the time of listing. After years of experimentation on how best to establish the species, we now can treat an area with prescribed fire, spot spray with herbicides (only if needed), and then establish the species by seeding it into the treated site. We now have established greater than 40 new populations range wide (Oregon and Washington), with more than 15 of the populations having met the Recoverypopulation size of greater than 1,000 flowering plants per site. We continue to restore areas that support golden paintbrush, augment these populations with seedlings, or seed, and we will continue to establish new populations on National Refuge and Park lands.ArcGIS FeatureLayerhttps://hub.arcgis.com/datasets/19d0b4c491004da79f3c4bcd35c1fa5e_0engU.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Open DataPublicusfws Q26U P01 Castilleja levisecta current range simple [United States]Web servicesUnited StatesLast Modified: 2021-06-16
