Meadowview Biological Research Station - Pitcher Plant Tour -- 2010

Tour the Meadowview Biological Research Station facilities.

And for those who dont know: Meadowview is a non-profit501(c)(3) organization dedicated to preserving and restoring rare wetland plants, habitats and associated ecosystems on the coastal plain of Maryland and Virginia. Our particular area of specialization is an endangered habitat known as pitcher plant bogs or seepage wetlands. Bogs are acidic, nutrient poor wetlands which are characterized by a unique assemblage of plants and animals. Many bogs have been lost in Maryland and Virginia through drainage, development or neglect and most of the plants found in these sites are threatened with extinction.

Great video, but one question... Why do you have nepenthes growing here when they are not native to the Virginia/Maryland region?
