Boiling Spring Lakes holds Venus Flytrap Forum

BOILING SPRING LAKES, NC (WWAY) — A number of experts from across the country with knowledge about Venus Fly Traps were in Boiling Spring Lakes Thursday.

Several different land owners, land managers, researchers and volunteers gathered for the Flytrap Forum at the Boiling Spring Lakes Community Center. The forum had dozens of attendees with many speaking on current research and rescue efforts of the Venus Fly Trap. Stephanie Bodmer lives in Boiling Spring Lakes and she said learning more about fly traps and how to protect them is a good thing.

“The most important part is saving them, obviously and bringing awareness to people. There has been, since this whole momentum started here in boiling spring lakes, we have community members here that if they see populations they make a call.”

The forum group will continue Friday with a trip to the Nature Conservancy’s Green Swamp.
