Notice of Availability of a Draft Revised Recovery Plan for the Green Pitcher Plant for Review and Comment

Zusammenfassung

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) announces the availability for public review of a draft revised recovery plan for the green pitcher plant (Sarracenia oreophila). Populations are known to occur in northeast Alabama (Cherokee, DeKalb, Etowah, Jackson, and Marshall Counties), north Georgia (Towns County), and southwest North Carolina (Clay County). A historical record exists for Tennessee. Habitat for the green pitcher plant varies somewhat with populations located in moist upland areas and others along boggy, sandy stream edges. With the exception of a few sites on State park land, populations occur on privately owned lands. The Service solicits review and comment from the public on this draft plan.
