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.
Minimize disturbance to hydrology, including soil disturbance from rutting.
Although maintaining high overall forest canopy is important, silvicultural techniques that open small gaps in the canopy may be beneficial to this species. Seedlings and saplings of some species in openings may need to be protected from deer browse.
