Daniel Cloward, biology major and senior at UVSC from Salem, Utah, is focusing his senior project on the preservation of the rare, endangered native plant, the Autumn buttercup. The Autumn buttercup is a late-flowering buttercup that is known from only one location along the Scvier River near Panguitch, Utah. It was re- corded by botanists in 1894 and 1948, but after that, was thought to be extinct, until a population of 400 plants was rediscovered in 1982. By 1988, this population had only 20 plants. The Nature Conservancy purchased this land, and since then 200 more plants have been found on the preserve, but these numbers appear to be declining. What Cloward is working on for his capstone project, is the last leg of a complicated reintroduc- SUMMERWOOD CONDOS OREM'S PREMIER SINGLE STUDENT HOUSING • 4 Private Bedrooms and 2 Full Baths Per Unit • Washer and Dryer in EVERY Unit • Hot Tub • Fitness Center and Sport Court • Free Cable • Internet Access • Great Social Environment • Just Across the StreetfromUVSC ; 720 South 1200 West Orem -,-.',: Call Now to Reserve Your Spot! || (801)644-2552 £:! www.summerwoodcondos.com \ who know as they know women's '•».——_- ^ltu<4rJ<niiil«rWrij|ti.*B«:ii»Uiiu^itiil&r Nurii' -VticwLk CIIUIL.

Fish and Wildlife Service. Rcnee Van Buren, biology professor and Cloward's adviser, is also contributing. Researchers have collected seed from plants at the preserve, germinated them, and cloned tissue from the plants to produce several new plants in test tubes. These clones were ihen transferred to the Arboretum where the buttercups were planted in soil and have been acclimating for the past several months. These plants are now ready to be planted back into the field at .the preserve where Cloward and Van Buren have designed experiments that will help determine the optimal conditions for reintroduclion of future plants. In preparing for the trip, Gloward has researched the plant thoroughly, to m;ikr ilir most of his contnituiioii^ to the project.

Cloward has been working on his project since August 2006. This summer he will bo doing frequent trips lo Panguiich to monitor and water the plants. Alter this summer he plans on writing his thesis and publishing the results of his part of the rciiHroclueiion project.
