The first of the Conserve our Native Plants series is the Venus' Fly Trap (Dionaea muscipula), a carnivorous plant native to the Carolinas. Venus' Fly Traps are facing extinction due largely to habitat destruction, fire suppression, and illegal poaching. The fly trap is currently conserved by The North Carolina Botanical Garden.
We are donating $3 from each tote bag sale to the Center for Plant Conservation's sponsorship of the Venus Fly Trap.
Conserve our Native Plants is a collaboration with the Center for Plant Conservation, Lianne Pflug (@loonpflug), and B.Willow to promote awareness of native US plants that face exinction the wild.
