Specifications include, but are not limited to: The following Specific monitoring will occur: a. Fitton Green Natural Area: Planted Kincaid’s lupine b. Beazell Memorial Forest: Planted Kincaid’s lupine (Bird Loop) and Assessment of Taylor’s Checkerspot host and nectar plants will be derived from plant community data sampled. c. Jackson-Frazier Wetland: Bradshaw’s Lomatium, Nelson’s Checkermallow d. Pearcy-Schoener and Crisp-Lidell (Lumos): Kincaids Lupine e. Fort Hoskins Historic Park (north meadow); f. Mapping of aggressive or noxious weeds (A or B species following ODA classification) in the prairie habitats with or adjacent to HCP species, or where species introductions are planned for the future. Established and satellite populations (isolated patches of one to a few individuals) of invasive plant species will be identified and mapped. Methods will include using a combination of GIS maps, aerial photos, and GPS. Occurrences of invasive animals will be noted and areas of damage caused by these species will be mapped. g. Plant community sampling (using 5 meter by 5 meter plots). Plots will be mapped for future relocation via GPS for future relocation. Plant community composition will be measured within these plots as described in the HCP (updated Effectiveness Monitoring). Additional Requirements: 1. The Effectiveness Monitoring Report will incorporate and compare previous baseline and effectiveness monitoring data and all other pertinent data provided from previous years. 2. Provide map locations for Kincaid’s Lupine, Nelson’s Checkermallow, Bradshaw’s Lomatium. 3. Provide comparison columns of data between 2011, 2014, 2015, 2018, 2021, and 2024. 4. Photo monitoring. 5. Review mapping and monitoring data findings with NAPD staff prior to completion of Final Report, in order to assure clarity of information presented. 6. Contractor will closely coordinate all activities with NAPD staff to ensure access, timing, and successful completion to support achievement of management goals. The following number of minimum plots will be completed within each PCA: a) Fitton Green Natural Area: 4 plots b) Beazell Memorial Forest: 13 plots c) Jackson-Frazier Wetland: 6 plots d) Pearcy-Schoener Mitigation Site: 4 plots e) Crisp-Lidell Mitigation Site: 4 plots f) Fort Hoskins Historic Park (north meadow): 4 plots
