Policy Against the Sale of Harvested Plants and
Material from the Wild
Latest version: 29 Mar 2012
We continue to support the efforts of the International Carnivorous
Plant Society, the North American Sarracenia Conservancy and the many
other organizations that seek to curtail and, if possible, stop the
decline of carnivorous plant populations and their habitats in the wild.
In accordance with their efforts, we will never support the sale of
plants or plant material that is directly harvested from the wild.
Likewise, we discourage the introduction of carnivorous plants as
invasive species into habitats in which they are not endemic. |
