The Coos Bay District, Bureau of Land Management, needs help collecting seed from pink sand-verbena on the North Spit of Coos Bay. Pink sand- verbena (Abronia umbellata ssp. breviflora) is listed by the Oregon Department of Agriculture as endangered. The population of pink sand- verbena on the Coos Bay North Spit is the largest known population in Oregon and currently the only population large enough to provide significant quantities of seed for restoration of the species.
