dc.description.abstractDegener's penstemon (Penstemon degeneri) is a perennial herb in the Plantaginaceae (Plaintain Family) that is found only in Fremont, Custer and Chaffee counties, and is considered to be imperiled at a global and state level (G2/S2; Colorado Natural Heritage Program 2016). When flowering, it has beautiful blue-purple flower spikes. One of the biggest conservation issues for this imperiled plant species is the lack of awareness of its existence and status. Avoiding or minimizing impacts to this species during road maintenance activities will effectively help to conserve its habitat and is unlikely to confer substantial impacts on road maintenance goals and projects. The Best Management Practices (BMPs) included in this document are intended to help increase the awareness of this species for anyone involved in road maintenance activities.
