June 24, 2023 -- Julie Moore and Chuck Roe of Southern Conservation Partners (sponsor of Venus Flytrap Champions) participated in a Community Day at Moores Creek National Battlefield, a National Park Service site in southeastern North Carolina, located not far from Wilmington and in the region to which Venus Flytraps are native. Park staff is interested in reestablishing flytraps. Unfortunately, their native population of Venus Flytrap died after it was flooded for too long, due to a culvert that became blocked after a hurricane. Julie and Chuck were invited to set up a table and talk with visitors about Venus Flytrap and about the nearby Black River, home to swamp forests featuring the oldest trees in eastern North America.
