Article Abstract:

New England bluebells are endangered by the destruction of wooded areas that are their preferred habitat. Old forestry techniques that include replanting allow bluebells to survive, but now the woods are not being replanted. Primroses, cowslips and other wildflowers are hurt by deforestation.
