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 locating landings, staging areas, or access routes on or near known populations.
Avoid broadcast spraying of herbicides and use care with spot spraying.
Avoid site preparation that heavily disturbs herbaceous ground layer and soil, including bulldozing and furrowing, as well as grubbing and stump removal.
Buffer management around unique microhabitats such as ephemeral ponds, seeps, etc.
Minimize disturbance to hydrology, including soil disturbance from rutting.
Avoid rapid and dramatic reductions in canopy cover and, basal area, in wet areas to reduce risk of swamping.
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.
