The Shasta Snow-Wreath is at great risk. If the plan to raise the height of Shasta Dam were to proceed, all of the known habitat for this plant would be under water. the state has taken a step towards protecting this rare plant.
A notice of findings for the petition to list Shasta snow-wreath (Neviusia cliftonii) as threatened under the California Endangered Species Act has been posted to the commission’s website and is available at https://fgc.ca.gov/CESA#ssw.
