A recovery outline is available now for Kincaid's lupine (Lupinus
sulphureus ssp. kincaidii), a federally listed plant that occurs in the
Willamette Valley, Umpqua valley of Oregon and in several sites in SW
Washington.  The outline was signed on March 22, 2006.

The strategy in the recovery outline to achieve the recovery of Lupinus
sulphureus ssp. kincaidii is to restore and
maintain multiple viable populations of the species by protecting,
restoring, maintaining, and
connecting, to the maximum extent practicable, the remaining fragments of
prairie habitats or
areas with potential for restoration to prairie habitats within its
historical range. These areas
should be restored to functional prairie ecosystems with management
appropriate to approximate
natural disturbance regimes and to restore and maintain a diversity of
native species typical of
these prairie communities. The primary threats to be addressed through this
recovery strategy
are habitat isolation and fragmentation, invasion by nonnative plant
species, and succession.
