Escambia County is "pitcher" perfect

Published Sep 12, 2013

Pitcher plants (Sarracenia) are just one of the many sights to see when visiting Escambia County. 

Springtime in Escambia County brings us six variations of the pitcher plant, most commonly found in bogs, savannas, seepage slopes, hydric pine flatwoods and artificially created sites such as ditches and very shallow borrow areas.

Florida pitcher plants are protected by State and Federal laws, as careless harvesting of the leaves would be detrimental to the plants ability to trap insects and thrive.  

As you explore Escambia County, be sure to see the natural beauty of the pitcher plants for yourself at the following locations:

  • Big Lagoon State Park
  • Tarklin Bayou State Park
  • Naval Live Oaks
