including more BLM land, and less of the surrounding open space parks and collections, continue too.\u00a0 We made a collection of <em>Pulsatilla patens<\/em> on BLM land called Strawberry, just north of Fraser, CO. \u00a0I went to the North Sand Dunes, another BLM parcel of land near the Colorado\/Wyoming border, to check on the progress of a <em>Corispermum<\/em> sp. which has been the focus of a study by local scientists on whether the population is all one species or several different species.\u00a0 While up at the dunes, we scouted and discovered that <em>Cryptantha<\/em> sp. and possibly an <em>Oenothera<\/em> sp. might be collectable species. \u00a0I also got to explore an alpine wetland near Leadville, CO in search of Boreal Toads with Jay Thompson, The State Office Fisheries and Riparian Program Lead, and learn about the system and habits of the toad.\u00a0 While at the alpine location, we took the opportunity to observe the abundance of the <em>Aquilegia<\/em> sp. and a few wetland species that might make a good collection.\u00a0 Monitoring started up in July out near Kremmling, CO, where we monitored two endangered species <em>Penstemon penlandii<\/em> and <em>Astragalus osterhoutii<\/em>.\u00a0 Monitoring will continue through the next couple months with <em>Eutrema<\/em> sp., <em>Sclerocactus<\/em> sp., <em>Physaria<\/em> sp., <em>Phacelia<\/em> sp. and maybe a couple <em>Astragalus<\/em> sp. \u00a0An experience I am looking forward to: learning the monitoring techniques and the different regulations that surround the process that takes place when studying an endangered species and the inter-agency cooperation that occurs.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\"><span style=\"color:
