Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument is located in central New
Mexico near the town of Mountainair. Gran Quivira was established
as a National Monument in 1909, with Abo and Quarai park units
established in 1980 (NPS 1984). The three units were redesignated
as Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument in 1987. The Monument
was established to "set apart and preserve for the benefit and
enjoyment of the American People the ruins of prehistoric Indian
pueblos and associated seventeenth century Franciscan Spanish
mission ruins" (NPS 2006). The specific objectives of this project
were to complete an exotic plant inventory, collect voucher
specimens for new exotic species in the park, and write a report on
exotic plant species occurring in Salinas Pueblo Missions National
Monument. This information may then be incorporated into future
weed management projects to restore and preserve the vegetation and
cultural landscape.
