Endangered Plant Makes a Comeback

Nelson’s checker-mallow was listed as an endangered species in 1993 due to habitat loss from agrarian development, stream alterations, and filling and draining of wetlands.

Over the past several years, more than a dozen agencies and organizations have worked to rebuild the plants population. We’re excited to share that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service just delisted the species in the past month!
