Erie carnivorous plant society

[NickHubbell]

I am posting this information to find out how much interest there is for the formation of a new Carnivorous Plant Society in the Lake Erie Region, USA. Over the past few months, a small group has been visiting carnivorous plant bogs around Ohio. During this time, we have talked about creating a new Carnivorous Plant Society for those in the Ohio, Michigan, New York, and Pennsylvania. At this time we are looking for people interesting in joining such a group to find out if there is enough interest to continue pursuing the idea. The name that we have come up with is the Erie Carnivorous Plant Society. Our hope is to get a nice sized group that can meet once a month or bimonthly to share their experiences and information with others.

Please post here if you are interested. You can also email me directly from the forums.

I'm sure I'd make the trip at least sometimes.  And I'd be happy to drive people in the Rochester/Buffalo NY area (assuming they contributed cuttings to me, of course

j/k )

Well I think we got the answer we were looking for. I'm sure that the Erie CPS. will happen, We just have to work out all the details. We will post membership info here when we have this all planned out. If you have any ideas for this group please post them here or pm Nick or myself.

There are several carnivorous plants located in Toledo, OH that grow naturally in the wild. Also, there are 5+ bogs that have carnivorous plants in the North Eastern part of Ohio.
