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 broadcast spraying of herbicides and use care with spot spraying.
Avoid locating landings, staging areas, or access routes in open sandy areas dominated by native grasses.
Follow BMPs, especially around streams and use care near ravines, steep slopes, cliffs, rock outcrops, etc.
Prescribed burns and/or brushing may be beneficial, dependent on local site conditions and burn frequency. Rotational burns with annual unburned refugia may be preferred.
Maintain low canopy cover areas for savanna and barrens plant species.
