Threats or limiting factors
Very few threats to the species because most populations are fairly isolated. Some populations have seen declines in the their health due to compaction of the soils and direct damage to plants caused by hikers. Picnic area might be closed for other reasons which would open up the possibility for site rehabilitation (Franklin 2005). Climate change may also be a threat.
