Looks like a tough environment to live in. They have to compete with the other plants/grasses for light. And by the looks of it. They are losing. Natural fires keeps the land clear but fires dont happen anymore so material just builds up after years and years. There needs to be a restart button.

A not-so-subtle reminder of what happens when humans suppress natural burn events. These plants are having a hard time competing in this environment :-(

Wow! I live on Ft. Jackson and I had no idea that there were CP's here! I'll have to keep my eye open for them while I'm out at the ranges.

Thanks for bringing the CP's on Fort Jackson to my attention. I just finished talking with the garrison commander on Ft Jackson about the issue and he is putting me in touch with the person in charge of the environmental office here on Ft. Jackson. After a little bit of research I have discovered that Sarracenia's are a threatened species here in South Carolina and are actually protected under conservation laws and legislation. I am going to discuss with the environmental office heading a volunteer effort to identify Sarr's and other CP's on Fort Jackson and begin work to further their conservation and hopefully give them an easier time to compete with the local species as well as clear out the non-local invasive species.
