Yellow-Fringed Orchid Habitat Improvement
Create habitat conditions that are more conducive to survival and expansion of the yellow-fringed orchid. Remove understory seedlings and saplings around an area where orchids have been documented in the past. Reduce understory competition by a combination of cutting, hand pulling, propane torches, prescribed fire and/or spot treatment with herbicide. Girdle overstory trees if necessary to increase sunlight reaching the forest floor.
