Native Plants SIG - Pine Barrens Field TripThis Event is full. Members Only. Limited to 12 people. Cost: $15 per person, proceeds benefit the Orchid Society Conference. Registration is closed. Please see below for recommendations on what to wear and bring. I also suggest bringing a full water bottle and some snacks. We will make a lunch stop at a cute hot dog stand. You purchase your own hot dog and beverage. If you prefer not to eat hotdogs, please also bring a bag lunch. Amy and Margaret are pleased to be your escorts for a day in the Pine Barrens. We hope to have close-up looks at native orchids in their natural habitat. We'll visit sites in the Pinelands National Reserve to see 3-5 orchids in bloom as well as the interesting insectivorous plants that often accompany them. Although some of you may be seasoned orchid hunters, some are not. The following information will help you prepare for the day.
