the 4,000 acre Little River WMA in #CherokeeCounty was developed into #TowneLake during the 1990s in a similar situation to the one at #PineLogWMA right now, and this resulted in the eventual disappearance of two state-listed plant species, one of which was the last known population of the species in the state and only the third remaining known population in the world (Solidago porteri). Both of these species were only discovered after the development phase
