I think this location is still within the area where Julie Lidner and I had previously recorded them, but numbers do seem to be increasing, which is good as I have harvested a proportion of teh seed from these plants.

Definitely within the general location area, this population seems to be doing v well in the absence of mowing, although when I was there both Marist college and melrose high school students were trampling the area as part of their "Cross country" practice. From talking to teachers the students seem to be cutting corners so hopefully, they stay out of the conservation area in the future :).
