Ecology and Conservation of the California Pitcher Plant
Daring to understand the ecology and distribution of Darlingtonia californica, or the California pitcher plant, Jameison Chilton, a student and Humboldt State University, will dive into the work he is doing to better understand the ecology and future conservation of this unique species. This native wetland plant inhabits poor, often serpentinous soils, and has resorted to carnivory to supplement nutrient deficiencies in soils where it grows. Not only is it unique to northern California and southwest Oregon, but it is the logo for CNPS North Coast Chapter!
