Summary: Adopt-a Habitat volunteers will protect this precious wilderness by eradicating Oxeye daisy.
Description: Valued for its remote feel and stunning beauty, James Peak Wilderness is home to high alpine lakes, wildflower meadows, and James Peak, the area's 13,294 ft namesake. Unfortunately, populations of the destructive Oxeye daisy are flourishing at its access points and reducing and eliminating native plant populations. Previous eradication efforts in the area have been highly successful and with continued effort should result in preservation of this incredibly diverse ecosystem (one of Colorado's most varied plant populations is found just inside the wilderness boundary). Join with us in this continuing success story and play a valuable role in protecting Colorado's native plants.
