Proposed research will involve planting Gooddingii's Onion (Allium gooddingii) seeds in suitable habitat (selected through survey and historical data) and protecting seeds with wire cages and biodegradable mats stapled into the ground.
Location
Sites with suitable habitat will be chosen within two drainages with known populations (Reef of Rock and Lemmon Spring) and in adjacent drainages where records indicate historical populations.
