AMONG THE IMPERILED LISTED PLANT SPECIES IN ARKANSAS GEOCARPON (GEOCARPON MINIMUM) HAS EXPERIENCED NOTABLE DECLINES. THROUGHOUT DECADES OF MONITORING STAFF AT THE ARKANSAS NATURAL HERITAGE COMMISSION (ANHC) HAVE NOTICED SOIL DISTURBANCE TO BE A MAJOR THREAT TO THIS SPECIES. TO COUNTERACT THIS THREAT FENCING AND SIGNAGE WILL BE INSTALLED ALONG ROADS AT CRITICAL SITES WHERE UNAUTHORIZED DISTURBANCE FROM OFF ROAD VEHICLES WOULD BE MOST DETRIMENTAL TO REMAINING GEOCARPON POPULATIONS. EFFORTS WILL BE MADE TO ASSESS THE EFFICACY OF THESE MANAGEMENT METHODS AT REDUCING DISTURBANCE. ANHC STAFF WILL ALSO CONDUCT SURVEYS OF NEW POPULATIONS AND MONITORING OF EXISTING ONES THROUGHOUT ARKANSAS.
