Phase I and Phase II

Ginger Rabe Consulting has conducted noxious weed and special status botanical surveys in the BLM's Klamath Resource Area for eleven years. We have surveyed over 100,000 acres in habitats that include conifer forests on the eastern slope of the Cascades, juniper woodlands east of the Cascades and oak woodlands in the Klamath Canyon. Our accomplishments include mapping populations of Asarum wagneri, Limnanthes floccosa ssp. bellingeriana and Iliamna bakeri.
hy_pe Our team of botanists has worked throughout large areas of the Fremont-Winema National Forest in central and eastern Oregon. Over 8,000 acres have been surveyed using the USDA Forest Service Threatened, Endangered and Sensitive Plant Survey Field Guide. Our botanists found and mapped several populations of Perideridia erythrorhiza. We also surveyed for noxious weeds, and found many previously unmapped populations of Hypericum perforatum.

We are proud of the surveys we have conducted for Fruit Grower Supply Company in northern California for seven years and for the Fort Bidwell Indian Community in northeastern California for four years. We also completed surveys for Jeld-Wen Timber and Ranches.
lichen Rabe Consulting completetd a botanical survey for the Umpqua National Forest, conducted in order to determine the environmental effects of proposed actions on special status plants, lichens and mosses. Many small, scattered plots that were slated for treatment for deer and elk habitat enhancement, foodplot creation and installation of water guzzlers were examined. A noxious weed survey was conducted as competition was a concern in feed plot areas.

 In cooperation with the Bureau of Reclamation and the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Rabe Consulting conducted a survey for the endangered Pogogyne floribunda. The habitat of the survey area, which is located on the Modoc Plateau, consists mostly of juniper woodlands with seasonal wetlands occurring throughout the area. Rabe Consulting also conducted wetland delineations on this 7,000 acre project.
Christopher Calonje For the past four years, Rabe Consulting has been working closely with the Fort Bidwell Indian Reservation along the eastern slope of the Warner Mountains in Northeastern California. Throughout the reservation, we have conducted pre-harvest T&E plant surveys and mapped populations of the weed Cirsium vulgare after harvest. We conducted ethnobotanical research on the tribe's traditional use of plants for arts and crafts through interviews with tribal elders of the Paiute Tribe, library and museum research, and field investigations.
