September 24, 2022--Boiling Springs Lakes, NC:
Hundreds of Venus flytraps were rescued and replanted over the weekend of September 24 in Boiling Spring Lakes, NC. The rescue planned and arranged by the North American Sarracenia Conservancy (NASC), was led by NASC’s Vice President Tyler Gramley. About 300 Venus flytraps were moved from the vicinity of a new fire station. “Fire Rescue has agreed to maintain the relocation area to preserve the site genetics into the future,” Gramley said. “We will return in spring to count numbers and increase the planting density further!” |
