Meetings set regarding critical habitat in valley
From our weekly issue dated June 17, 2009
The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) will hold two public meetings to present information regarding possible critical habitat proposals for the two plant species in areas including Illinois Valley and how that may affect land owners.
The meetings, both from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., will be held in Cave Junction at the Junction Inn on Wednesday June 24, and in Medford at the BLM Medford District Office, 3040 Biddle Road on Thursday, June 25.
The two plant species, large-flowered woolly meadowfoam and Cook’s desert parsley, are federally listed as endangered. Some parcels of public and private land in the White City, Eagle Point, Medford, Selma and Cave Junction areas of Jackson and Josephine counties may be considered for proposed critical habitat for two plant species.
