2New Mexico’s Voice for Native Plantswww.npsnm.orgFrom the Presidentby Tom StewartWhat’s with the website?There has long been a Native Plant Society of NewMexico website, but it has changed dramatically in recent months. Have you been startled or even disoriented at the cleaner, more spacious welcome page? Theold site was great, but like a favorite old sweater it was showing its age and was no longer as effective as was needed topresent all of our information, not to mention our image.Please explore the new site and discover what it offers, namely, almost everything we had previously but in asimpler-to-find format. The major “departments” are stillshown by tabs across the top, but they are no longer duplicated in a sidebar. Try those tabs to access links to usefulplant literature, other resources, and chapter information.You can still download the popular thistle identificationguide created by Bob Sivinski. You can even renew yourmembership online, or print out a mail-in form for yourselfor a prospective member.One enhancement is a search box. Type in a key wordand find an item you can remember seeing but can’t recallwhere, or something you think should be in a self-respectingnative plant website. If we don’t have it, let us know why weshould, or consider making your own contribution to helpus correct the shortcoming. A members-only section is inthe works to provide special goodies that are not for justanyone.The home page is dedicated to happenings and topicsdeserving your attention. The main article now is the state-wide conference coming up in September, presentedby the Taos chapter. For the first time, you can nowregister for the conference completely on our ownwebsite. Please do! Below on the left are current eventsand issues of importance. These occasionally recommend public input on issues of importance to native plants.Public input is completely appropriate for a nonprofit grouplike ours, as long as it is consistent with our mission and doesnot advocate for or against a candidate or political party.I think the most useful new feature is that we can see ata glance, on the right of the home page, the upcoming talks,field trips, plant sales, etcetera, at chapters over our entirearea. Also go to the chapter pages, where you no longer haveto scroll down extensively to find what you are after. Theother big improvement is an organization-wide calendardisplaying activities, color-coded by chapter, like a wall calendar. Click on the event title and a full description comesyour way.So now we have a renewed presence on the Internet, butit is up to you and your chapter to keep it fresh. Please tell uswhat you are planning. Are you having a cool lecture, a plantsale, or a seed exchange? Get some free publicity as a benefitof your state affiliation. And provide photos to dress up yourchapter page—a narrow banner picture for the header and,below that, a picture of any shape or size, or even a galleryof shots. Go to “Contact Us” under the Welcome tab at thetop to send us the word. Help us make www stand for Whata Wonderful Website! Legacy: What we leave behind, we give to the future.NPSNM encourages members to considerincluding NPSNM in their wills.For further information, call Tom Stewart at 505/373-8779.S AV E T H E D AT E !It’s not too early to start planningFebruary 22–23, 2018to attend next year’s NPSNM Annual Conference7th Natural History of the Gila Symposiumon the campus of Western New Mexico Universityin beautiful Silver CitySeptember 6–9, 2018Silver CityPlants, People and Culture of the Gila

www.npsnm.orgNew Mexico’s Voice for Native Plants3Conservation Cornerby Rachel Jankowitz, NPSNM Conservation Committee ChairGila Diversion Update(Adapted with permission from “Diversion Plan for Gila Riverin Limbo” by Kara Naber, published May 4, 2017, in the Deming Headlight)NPSNM has been following the progress of proposed projects to divert water from the Gila River, one of the lastfree-flowing rivers in the Southwest. Removing significantamounts of water, and constructing conveyance infrastructure, would disrupt flows and introduce major impacts tothe Gila’s lush riparian habitats and the wildlife (includingendangered species) that lives there.The proposed diversion of water from the Gila River basin has entered a new and complicated phase. At last month’smeeting of the Central Arizona Project Entity, it was madeclear that the plan to divert the Gila River was derailed afterthe State of New Mexico and The Nature Conservancy refused to allow the 190 acres they jointly own to be includedin the project. CAPE Director Anthony Gutierrez indicatedthat the board would need to consider other diversion options in order to pursue the plan to divert up to 14,000 acrefeet of water per year.On Tuesday, May 2, a range of alternatives was discussedduring the four-hour meeting in Silver City. One of thesewould require an agreement with Freeport-McMoRan, theinternational mining company that owns the Chino andTyrone mines near Silver City. “We are still in conversations with Freeport,” Gutierrez said. If approved, the projectwould involve utilizing existing Freeport infrastructure todivert water from Bill Evans Lake and across the continentaldivide. The water would then be used to recharge the Mimbres aquifer or may be piped over 80 miles to Deming.One major challenge to any project appears to be a statutory deadline: if a construction project is not approved bythe Secretary of the Interior by December 2019, the construction funding will be lost. For this reason, Gutierrez suggested that the board approve a new request for proposals tobe submitted to the engineering firm AECOM, which wascontracted by the CAPE to study its original three-phase diversion plan. He said that continuing to use the companywould save time needed to meet the statutory December2019 deadline. Questions surrounding the AECOM contract remain due to an ongoing investigation into an allegedcontribution made by the company to Governor Martinez’spolitical action committee while the company was underconsideration for the contract. CAPE attorney Pete Domenici Jr. explained that even if the allegations are proved,AECOM’s contract will not necessarily be terminated.“Would an agreement that weare not going to claim that water fora period of time be valuable?” Domenici asked. He suggested thatif the CAPE made an agreementnot to extract its allotted waterfor an extended time that it wouldallow “someone else to make longer plans for it and to create morevalue for it and perhaps share thatvalue with us.” Such an agreementcould allow the CAPE to makemoney without constructing anywater-related infrastructure. Domenici also explained that if theCAPE delays exercising its right todivert the water that it is allowedunder the Arizona Water SettleContinued page 5The Gila River in its natural state.Photo: Mike Fugagli

www.npsnm.orgNew Mexico’s Voice for Native PlantsConservation Corner (continued from p. 3)ments Act, the CAPE would still maintain the right to divertwater in the future.Additional information, including the dates and locations of upcoming meetings, is available on the CAPE’s newwebsite (http://www.nmcapentity.org/).5Dust may affect photosynthesis, respiration, and transpiration and allow the penetration of phytotoxic gaseous pollutants. Visible injury symptoms may occur and generallythere is decreased productivity. Most plant communities areaffected by dust deposition so that community structure isaltered. So this project utilizing native plants is also good fornative plants!DOT Dust-Control ProjectIn April of 2014 a traffic accident took place at MP7 on I-10,just inside the Arizona border, in which seven people diedin a multicar pile-up caused by a “dust event” that came andwent in ten minutes. The tragedy led to the NM Departmentof Transportation successfully applying for 675,000 in federal funds for a mitigation project, including 175,000 foreffectiveness monitoring. The approach that DOT is takingutilizes native plants to mitigate this public safety hazard.The mitigation project is intended to address acute incidentsof airborne dust at a local scale, and will not affect the largerregional or “synoptic” dust storms in southern New Mexico.DOT identified three “hot spots” for traffic accidentsattributed to reduced visibility from dust. Two are in theLordsburg Playa section of I-10, at MPs 7 and 11, on BLMsurface management, and the other one is along US 180north of Deming on private and state land. LordsburgPlaya is the remainder of a Pleistocene-era lake bed. Thetwo locations on I-10 include portions of playa bottoms,which provide important amphibian, invertebrate, and birdhabitat when wet. The playa bottoms will not be disturbed;instead, mitigation efforts will focus on the surroundingdegraded uplands. Land imprinting and deep chisel-plowtechniques will be used to increase surface roughness andrainwater infiltration. Erosion control actions will includebrushpiles, strategic breaching, and construction of earthenberms.The sites will be seeded with native plants, and grazingwill be excluded for four years during implementation. TheDeming site has been initially seeded with alkali sacaton. Inthe future, each site will be seeded with the DOT Zone 5 native seed list (http://arcg.is/1RHjFkJ). Seeds will be harvested from local surrounding vegetation at the I-10 sites. Preconstruction and follow-up monitoring of airborne dust willbe performed by Dr. Dave Dubois with the NMSU ClimateCenter. NMDOT Environmental Section will monitor plantcover using the BLM Assessment, Inventory and Monitoring protocol, and will analyze the data to see if a correlationbetween airborne dust and plant cover can be established.The purpose of the project is to increase visibility forthe traveling public; improving the native plant communitywill be an added benefit. In addition to the public safetyconsideration, deposition of airborne dust is bad for plants.Holy Ghost IpomopsisOn March 2, the US Forest Service hosted the first meeting of the Holy Ghost Ipomopsis Working Group. Ipomopsissancti-spiritus is only known from one location, Holy GhostCanyon in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of San MiguelCounty, in north-central New Mexico within the Santa FeNational Forest. It was listedas Endangered under the federal Endangered Species Actprimarily due to small population size, impacts fromdevelopment, and high levels of human activity in theimmediate vicinity. NPSNMwas represented at the meeting by President Tom StewartHoly Ghost ipomopsisand Past Presidents BarbaraPhoto: Daniela RothFix and Bob Sivinski. Othergroups that participated were the US Fish & Wildlife Service,NM State Forestry, the Upper Pecos Watershed Association,and residents of Holy Ghost Canyon. Priority actions thatemerged from the meeting included conducting research onhabitat and reproduction, monitoring and protecting existing populations, identifying potential new transplant locations, and educating local residents. Updating the speciesrecovery plan was also discussed. NPSNM volunteered tocreate educational printed material for distribution to theresidents.Support the Botany BillThe Botanical Sciences and Native Plant Materials Research,Restoration and Promotion Act, HR 1054, was introduced inthe US House of Representatives in February and is makingits way through congressional committees. The bill currently has 18 cosponsors, not including any of our New Mexicorepresentatives. Last year, the NPSNM Board of Directorsvoted to join the Plant Conservation Alliance in endorsingthis legislation. The Botany Bill proposes to promote botanical research and sciences and to generate demand for nativeplant materials in the federal agencies. A summary of thebill is at ntinued page 6

Makepeace, Jr.April 14, 1938–May 23, 2017www.npsnm.orgNew United Nations ReportAcknowledges That BiodiversityLoss Undermines Human Rightsby Jim Hastings, El Paso ChapterJack Makepeace died after a brief bout with pancreatic cancer and its complications.Jack joined the El Paso Chapter of the Native Plant Society of New Mexico in March of 2003. He was an activemember of the chapter, serving as president and as chapterrepresentative to the state board for several terms.Jack was a biology and chemistry teacher in El Paso during his career. He was also an active member of the El PasoCactus and Rock Club and the El Paso Rose Society. He wasa welcome speaker for garden clubs throughout the city andserved as a resource and mentor for many city gardeners ofall types.His knowledge and his willingness to share his expertisewill be missed across the community.

These include that States should:(a) Assess the social and environmental impacts of all proposed projects and policies that may affect biodiversity;(b) Provide public information about biodiversity, including environmental and social assessments of proposals,and ensure that the relevant information is provided tothose affected in a language that they understand;(c) Provide for and facilitate public participation in biodiversity-related decisions;(d) Provide access to effective remedies for the loss anddegradation of biodiversity.The Report also calls on States to recognize defenders ofbiodiversity as defenders of human rights.For more information about biological diversity, nativeplant conservation and ecosystem services, see the NPCCEcosystem Services Pages: n/overview.
