In 2011, Northwest Lichenologists (a non-profit) obtained funding from the U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management to conduct a comprehensive review and to make recommendations to the Natural Heritage Program regarding the status of rare lichens in Washington. The results of their review are presented below. The committee proposed that 28 taxa be considered Endangered, 13 Threatened, 11 Sensitive, and 1 Possibly Extirpated from Washington. In addition, they identified 23 taxa that should be monitored and 7 taxa with taxonomic questions. The committee’s recommendations are currently under review by DNR.
