It's almost time for 7th annual online NASC Benefit Auction to start.
All of us at NASC are proud to announce that a portion of the auction proceeds (the lesser of $1500 or 50%) will be going to a 5 acre site in Georgia managed by The Nature Conservancy (TNC). In fact it's the last site of its type in the state of Georgia.
Carnivorous plant species found here include the Federally endangered green pitcher plant (Sarracenia oreophila) and sundews (Drosera). This is a unique site that needs to be maintained.
The proceeds from last annual auction went to provide a much needed burn at Myrtle Head Savanna managed by TNC, North Carolina. It started an anti-poaching campaign in Brunswick County, NC and help fund a plant rescue in Florida.
While in 2008, NASC auction proceeds benefited Splinter Hill Bog Preserve managed by TNC of Alabama.
So please do your part and donate an item in the upcoming auction.
You will not only help maintain the Sarracenia oreophila site, but also allow us to save more carnivorous plants this year.
The auction will run from Saturday, April 24, 2010 until Saturday, May 8, 2010.
