Field Trips (We are organizing two field trips)

1. Local Field Trip in West Maryland, SW Pennsylvania, and West Virginia on Sunday, June 4, 2006.
   
   
2. Field trip in eastern coastal region on Monday, June 5, 2006 (see the map 2 at the bottom).
   For the Eastern Field Trip, participants will travel to the Carnivorous Plant Nursery (16128 Deer Lake Road, Derwood, MD 20855) nearby Washington DC and the Meadowview Botanical Research Station (8390 Fredericksburg Turnpike, Woodford, Virginia 22580). There we will see a wide range of cultivated Sarracenia, Drosera, and Utricularia on a setting overlooking a lake and a marsh filled with waterlilies (Nymphaea alba). We will also hear about the activities of the station in reestablishing carnivorous and non-carnivorous plants in the Eastern US. Meadowview sells many different species of cp's, including Aldrovanda, so attendees will have the opportunity to buy plants there.
   NEW Post: On its return to Frostburg, the Eastern Fieldtrip will make a stop at BWI Airport. Many attendees will fly out of BWI, and others will find it a convenient stopping point for visiting other cp enthusiasts in the Washington area. A map of the location of BWI Airport relative to other sites in the Washington area can be found at: http://www.bwiairport.com/directions_parking/washington_d_c__virginia/. BWI has many nearby hotels which run shuttle buses to the airport--for a list, see http://www.bwiairport.com/around_town/accommodations/
   Fieldtrip participants can expect to arrive at BWI in the early evening of June 5. Those wishing to return to Frostburg for the night can do so with the vans or in their own cars.
