PROTECTING WISCONSIN'S BIODIVERSITY

Blooming occurs June to early-July, fruiting July through mid-August.

Perennial. The optimal identification period for this species is early-June through late-August.

Associated species include Larix laricina, Alnus rugosa, Calamagrostis canadensis, Calla palustris, Ribes triste, Potentilla palustris, Caltha palustris, Sium suave, Galium tinctorium, and Carex canescens.

Minimize disturbance to hydrology, including soil disturbance from rutting.

Maintain and restore open habitat through selective clearing and brushing.

Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN) are associated with habitats (or natural communities) and places on the landscape. Understanding relationships among SGCN, natural communities and ecological landscapes help us make decisions about issues affecting SGCN and their habitat and how to respond.

Conservation actions respond to issues or threats, which adversely affect species of greatest conservation need (SGCN) or their habitats. Besides actions such as restoring wetlands or planting resilient tree species in northern communities, research, surveys and monitoring are also among conservation actions described in the Wisconsin Wildlife Action Plan because lack of information can threaten our ability to successfully preserve and care for natural resources.
