Avoid known individual plant locations and conduct operations elsewhere when they are least likely to cause damage. Ideally, this would involve frozen, snow-covered ground. However, in areas of the state where frozen conditions are unreliable, very dry soils late in the growing season might be the best available alternative. Consult with a biologist, if needed.
Avoid broadcast spraying of herbicides and use care with spot spraying.
Avoid direct disturbance to sensitive microsites such as seeps, cliffs, and moss-covered boulders.
Avoid (moist or dry) cliffs, rocky areas, slopes, outcrops, ridges, or ledges within forests.
Follow BMPs, especially around streams and use care near ravines, steep slopes, cliffs, rock outcrops, etc.
Buffer management around unique microhabitats such as ephemeral ponds, seeps, etc.
This species requires shaded habitat conditions, maintain high forest canopy cover.
Avoid rapid and dramatic reductions in canopy cover and, basal area, in wet areas to reduce risk of swamping.
