Drosera5150 Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Hello Friends, I'm off to Alabama to film the endangered and beautiful S. alabamensis 'in situ' for an ICPS Conservational video. I firmly believe in personally investigating all ICPS funded projects, so that I can keep our Members posted and they can actually see their donations at work! So if you don't hear from me for a week ....i'm still alive, don't worry. ;) Two weeks....send out the search helicopters. ;D Happy Growing, Brian Barnes, ICPS Director of Conservation.

Drosera5150 Posted June 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 (edited) Hello Friends, Mission accomplished! :) I've just returned recently from an incredible journey through central Alabama, then down to Splinter Hill Preserve, then onwards to the fantastic Drosera filiformis'Florida red' sites in northern Fl. Again, I was impressed at the stewardship of TNC in maintaining the S. alabamensis sites and their continuing efforts at Splinter Hill Preserve. The ICPS fully supports TNC and their conservational endeavors in the two forementioned Alabama sites, thanks to the donations from our wonderful ICPS Members! My goal from this trip was to film and photograph the S. alabamensis sites and part two of the Splinter Hill Preserve Experience. I firmly believe in a "hands-on" approach, in order to show our Members their conservational donations at work! Withs TONS of video footage and photos to edit, I better get busy. But here's a few samples of things to come... ;) Every dollar counts. Please donate to the ICPS Conservational fund of your choice by visiting our link here; http://icps.clubexpress.com/content.aspx?p...;club_id=203829 Stay tuned for more. Brian Barnes, ICPS Director of Conservation Now for some samples from the trip... A VERY dangerous affair... S. alabamensis, tagged and safe in a freshly burned environment. S. alabamensis...alive and well! And to finish things up; A Florida filiformis sunset! Edited June 3, 2010 by Drosera5150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Barnes Nice to see members' conservation dollars in action, Brian; your feedback is much appreciated. Our children will still have wild Sarracenia to visit, thanks to the efforts of the ICPS. Keep up the good work! Vic2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
