The Ute ladies’-tresses orchid occurs along the Green River in Dinosaur National Monument (Colorado and Utah). This federally threatened plant species is the subject of ecological studies, funded through NRPP during 2000, that will aid resource managers in evaluating potential effects of future water releases from the Flaming Gorge Dam.

The Natural Resource Challenge FY 2000 budget provided a big boost to critical park resource management programs. One of the programs that benefited was the Natural Resource Preservation Program (NRPP), an important funding source for park resource management projects administered under the Disturbed Lands and Threatened and Endangered Species Programs. NRPP funds are allocated to regions for park projects based on a priority ranking process. Of the $2.875 million increase allocated to NRPP in FY 2000, nearly $1 million was provided for additional park preservation projects, another $1 million for disturbed lands restoration projects, and about $500,000 each for small park projects and threatened and endangered species projects. | |
