Conservation & Research Plans

The New England Plant Conservation Program is pleased to make available a series of Conservation and Research Plans that have been produced through a generous anonymous grant and using data provided by Natural Heritage Programs. 

Over the next several years, these comprehensive plans will be written for over one hundred rare plant species throughout New England.  NEPCoP regional plant Conservation and Research Plans review the current state of knowledge about the species and its status in New England at the time of writing, and recommend cogent actions that should lead to the conservation of these species.  These actions will be accomplished with the cooperation of conservation partners, volunteers, our Regional Advisory Council, and private and public landowners.

Each of the Conservation and Research Plans available here contain excerpts from the published documents with extensive information on the biology, ecology, taxonomy, and distribution of the species, along with a bibiography of published literature on the species.

You  can access Conservation and Research Plans by clicking HERE. Download will take 1 to 2 minutes on most computers. To view the Plan, you will need to have installed the free Adobe Acrobat reader.
