Abstract:
ORNHIC maintains extensive databases of Oregon biodiversity, concentrating on rare and endangered plants, animals and ecosystems. The program is managed by OSU, but has been a
cooperative project, with significant support from The Department of State Lands, The Nature Conservancy in Oregon, USFWS, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the U.S. Forest Service (USFS), and the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board. Biologists working for these agencies, together with the state's herbaria and museums, provide most of the information that comprise ORNHIC's databases. This booklet has been compiled using the most
current information available on the distribution and abundance of plants and animals native to Oregon. Although based on a large volume of information, it is by no means complete. Much is known about some species, very little about others. ORNHIC welcomes
additional information or recommendations regarding any of the taxa listed herein.
