Abstract
Schriever Air Force Base (AFB) is located in El Paso County, Colorado, eight miles east of the Colorado Springs developed urban corridor. Colorado Natural Heritage Program (CNHP) zoologists and botanists visited Schriever AFB between June 2017 and September 2018 to document the presence of rare animals, plants, and plant communities. Surveys focused on the undeveloped areas of Schriever AFB deemed the most likely to have potential habitat for the targeted rare species. No federally threatened or endangered animals or plants were found at Schriever AFB during the 2017‐2018 surveys. However, seven of the animal species observed during the 2017‐2018 surveys are either fully tracked or watch listed by CNHP and an additional ten are considered species of concern within Colorado by either federal agencies, the State of Colorado, or Partners in Flight (PIF).
