Gopher Tortoises are State Threatened and declining in number in Florida due to development. Healthy and sustainable gopher tortoise populations need fairly large roadless areas (so they don't get smashed) and good groundcover, preferrably with lots of flowers and small fruits like Touch-Me-Not, Pawpaws and Gopher Apple. They also strongly prefer deep sandy soil to make their burrows in, like those soils that support sandhill, scrub, scrubby flatwoods, and mesic flatwoods. | Florida Native Plant
