Please put the Franciscan manzanita on the endangered species list. Discovered during the Golden Gate bridge Doyle Drive reconstruction, this plant is part of the natural history of all who live in the San Francisco Bay Area. North America has 40,000 different kinds of bees. Each bee is specific to pollinating a specific plant, in including the San Francisco manzanita. So when you save this plant, you save all the species dependent on this plant as well. Since the plant has been relocated to a place unlikely to ever have construction, it does not pose a future problem of an endangered species restricting future construction. Resolving to help preserve this plant by placing it on the endangered species list, is an act that only has positives.
