What threatens the hookless cactus (Sclerocactus glaucus)? Installation and maintenance of huge pipelines that move oil and gas from the well pads miles and miles to the collection facilities; roads; browsing and trampling from livestock; weeds; and people who collect them from the wild to name a few threats. Why is Denver Botanic Gardens doing something about it? Just look at the beautiful landscape and plant community. Do you want to lose that? Neither do we.

Each year, as spring rolls around, Denver Botanic Gardens Research and Conservation staff loads up a 4-wheel drive vehicle with meter tape, metal spikes and numbered tags, a first aid kit, several plant field guides, and a few other odds and ends before were ready for another year of discoveries. Our field work is at the center of what we do. It allows us to learn more about our natural environment and to bring the information home in a way that can help protect and conserve plants.
For our first trip we headed west to see the threatened cactus, Sclerocactus glaucus. This lovely little cactus is found in Western Colorado along with several other rare plant species. This is also an area with intense oil and gas development, residential growth and spreading weeds. Our aim is to protect the western region by studying and protecting this tiny cactus.

Nearly one hundred construction workers focus on major projects at Denver Botanic Gardens, including the construction of the new Parking Facility, which will increase parking from 180 spaces to more than 300 parking spaces. Crews also tear down the Gate House in order to make way for new Bonfils-Stanton Visitor Center. Both projects are scheduled to be completed in spring 2009.
