The New England Carnivorous Plant Society is pleased to announce the Field Trip schedules to follow the 2012 International Carnivorous Plant Society conference!
There will be a few different choices for field trips after the Conference is over:
There will be “Group A” which will start with local field trips in New England and then will travel by airplane to North Carolina and continue on to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens with the return trip home from Atlanta on Monday, August 20th.
“Group B” will be local excursions to destinations with Carnivorous Plants around New England and will be over by Sunday morning, August 19th.
There will also be options available for local attractions such as Aquariums and City tours.
Group A: New England and North Carolina.
The Group A excursion will start in New England along with Group B for a day-long tour of various local Carnivorous Plant habitats. Then, Group A will fly down to North Carolina the following day to view primarily Venus Flytraps in the wild.
There will then be a trip to the Green Swamp and to locations managed by the Nature Conservancy that are normally closed to the public and are spectacular!
There also will be locations in roadside ditches, empty lots and other unusual areas to showcase the struggle for survival of these unique plants and to view the variety of their natural habitats and the variations of the plants seen between them.
There will also be some extremely impressive Sarracenia stands and other wild Carnivorous Plants to view on this part of the trip as well.
The third part of this trip will be to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens for a full-tour of the grounds, facilities and all the behind-the-scenes action there!
The will also be a chance to relax and to have a discussion on all that has been seen and experienced throughout the Conference, the Field Trips and the Atlanta Botanical Gardens at a Finale Dinner & Drinks event on Sunday night, August 19th in Atlanta, GA.
