Beginning in the summer of 2015, Sagebrush's botanists undertook a six-year botanical study of southern New Mexico's Lincoln National Forest. Scouring the ponderosa-draped Sacramento Mountains surrounding Ruidoso, and the drier, juniper-oak forested Capitan Mountains west of Roswell, we're mapping populations of rare plants including shootingstar geranium and Kerr's milkvetch.
In 2017, Sagebrush was selected to conduct annual inventories of the federally endangered Sacramento prickly poppy, one of the West's rarest plants.
