Description: This is a Notice of Intent to award a Single Source Cooperative agreement to the University of Utah, Red Butte Gardens. The University of Utah is a member of the Great Basin Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) for the purpose of developing a 5-year review for three listed plant species in Utah. These species include Welsh&#191;s milkweed (Asclepias welshii), San Rafael Cactus (Pediocactus despainii), and Winkler Cactus (Pediocactus winkleri). These three plant species have recovery plans that need a status review to evaluate whether or not the species&#191; status has changed since the time it was listed or since the recovery plan was written. A 5-year review summarizes and evaluates information provided in the recovery plan, current scientific research, and surveys related to the subspecies. A 5-year review also evaluates the adequacy of the recovery plan and explicitly analyzes the 5 listing factors.
