- NEED IN SITU PHOTOS. Creeping meadow foxtail, an exotic, has strong rhizomes and tolerates saline ground and so has been used in revegetation and soil stabilization projects. In the Watershed, for instance, Alopecurus arundinaceus has been recorded from the Baca National Wildlife Refuge (Saguache Co, 2013). It has also been vouchered (if the determinations are correct) from creek side in montane conifer woods (Conejos Co, 2003), and from montane mesic meadows (Saguache Co, 2004). In the USA, the distribution of A. arundinaceus centers in Wyoming, with scattered records in Washington, Idaho, Montana, Arizona, and northern Great Plains states. The Watershed occurrences are the only ones in the Rio Grande drainage.
