Carnivorous Plants Presentation

Join Sarah Denison Williams, Community Education Manager with Big Waters Land Trust, for a lively and informative look at Florida’s carnivorous plants. In this engaging presentation, we will explore what makes a plant truly carnivorous, why some species evolved to trap and digest insects, and which species are found in Florida and right here in our region. We will also take a closer look at the unique habitats where they grow, from wet prairies to pine flatwoods, and connect the dots between land conservation and plant protection, highlighting why saving natural areas is essential not just for carnivorous plants, but for the health and diversity of all native plants in Florida. ·        12:00: Optional lunch social ·        1:00 -1:15: Florida Native Plant Society, Mangrove Chapter Meeting ·        1:15-2:00: Feature Presentation and Q&A This program is recommended for teens and adults.
