They have been managing habitat by chemical, mechanical, and fire. Fire treatments were conducted between Jan-April 2014; mechanicl and checmial work conducted throughout the year. In general, fire intervals are on a 3-yr rotation; anything longer will allow too much understory growth and cause mortality to phlox. |

In recent years, contact with the private landowner on Hancock Timber lands in Tyler County has ceased. On a section of that property called "Pecker" hill where there's RCW and good quality habitat, there are also plants (not sure if these were introduced or naturally occurring). In 2011 when record-breaking drought hit, there was a wildfire that swept the area and went through the phlox plots. The plants responded well and were flowering afterwards. The Service hopes to reconnect with the landowner in 2014 to observe the site. |

Info from 2014 data request: BTNP has been burning their units and put them on a 3-yr fire rotation. Anecdotal evidence suggests that waiting more than 3 years to burn (say 4-5) will allow the overstory and leaf litter to accumulate and growth, causing direct mortality to phlox (by swamping) and shading(?) out. Phlox responds very positively to fire and fire suppression is the leading threat. |

Since 2014, BTNP has potted phlox and some of those have been grazed on by deer. This did not cause mortality and is likely not a threat; however at this time it was likely that other food resources were not available and this was the only alternative. More definitive studies on herbivory should be conducted to make this assumption. |

Plants were introduced on to the Big Sandy Creek unit in Polk County sometime in 2003. Hurricane Ike and Rita hit, and the plants are not doing well. However, on a site the the NPS refers to as the "triangle" that has better quality habitat, in 2014, the plants were doing very well and were showing good survivorship. BTNP completed a count of this reintroduction site in 2009 or 2010 after a springtime burn and the plants re-flowered. |

In 1995, experimental plantings began. Nearly 2000 plants were transplanted among 5 plots at Turkey Creek Unit and 11 plots in Big Sandy Creek Unit, beginning in 2001 and 2003, then again in 2005-2007 due to low survival of early plantings. Only 400 individual plants remained in 2015. These plants showed good growth and regular flowering. Very little recruitment has been observed and has not outpaced mortality, resulting in total loss of plants in some plots. BTNP concluded that long-term survival will likely require herbicide applicaiton followed by annual 2-4 year burns to assist in stopping woody encroachment. |
