New S. alabamensis video..

[Brian Barnes]

Hello Friends,

I'm off to Alabama to film the endangered and beautiful S. alabamensis 'in situ' for an ICPS Conservational video. I firmly believe in personally investigating all ICPS funded projects, so that I can keep our Members posted and they can actually see their donations at work!

So if you don't hear from me for a week ....i'm still alive, don't worry. Two weeks....send out the search helicopters. ;D

Happy Growing,

Brian Barnes,
ICPS Director of Conservation.

Hello Friends,

Mission accomplished!

I've just returned recently from an incredible journey through central Alabama, then down to Splinter Hill Preserve, then onwards to the fantastic Drosera filiformis'Florida red' sites in northern Fl. Again, I was impressed at the stewardship of TNC in maintaining the S. alabamensis sites and their continuing efforts at Splinter Hill Preserve.

The ICPS fully supports TNC and their conservational endeavors in the two forementioned Alabama sites, thanks to the donations from our wonderful ICPS Members! My goal from this trip was to film and photograph the S. alabamensis sites and part two of the Splinter Hill Preserve Experience. I firmly believe in a "hands-on" approach, in order to show our Members their conservational donations at work!
Withs TONS of video footage and photos to edit, I better get busy. But here's a few samples of things to come...

Every dollar counts. Please donate to the ICPS Conservational fund of your choice by visiting our link here;

Nice shots, Brian and I'll be looking for your video. It was very enjoyable stomping around in the mud with you and the others. I'll work on putting my video shots together this weekend.
