La Graciosa Thistle Seeds

The Land Conservancy of San Luis Obispo County began growing seeds in 2020, and for a second consecutive year, will plant the endangered thistle at Guadalupe Nipomo Dunes National Wildlife Refuge, a safe haven for rare plants and wildlife. Sixty-five plants will be ready for planting at the end of June 2021. Photo courtesy of Lindsey Roddick/Land Conservancy of San Luis Obispo
