 10. Management practices and experience. 



A. Habitat management. 



1. Review of past management and land use 

 experiences. 



a. The following sites in Montana incur some 

 grazing during parts of the year: 



Wild Horse Island (002) (002; horses) 



Black Bear Ranch (003) 



Mill Pocket Ridge (004) 



Crosson Valley (005) 



Tobacco Plains North (008) 



Cromwell Creek (009) 



Hog Heaven Range (010) 



b. Related taxa: None known. 



c. Other ecologically similar taxa: Not 

 applicable. 



2. Performance under changed conditions: Not 

 applicable. 



3. Current management policies and actions: 



Current management is the same as outlined 

 under past management. 



4. Future land use: Proposed areas for a new 

 airport in the vicinity of Eureka are near the 

 Dancing Prairie (001) site. When a final site 

 is picked, a detailed inventory of the area 

 should be conducted to determine if there are 

 populations of S. spaldinqii in the area, and 

 to mitigate habitat destruction where possible. 



B. Cultivation. 



1. Controlled propagation techniques: Seeds of S. 

 spaldinqii are apparently easily germinated, 

 and plants grow well under greenhouse 

 conditions (Lesica, 1988) ; see Appendix C, 



p. 70. 



2. Ease of transplanting: Not known. 



3. Pertinent horticultural knowledge: Not 

 reviewed.
