Because it contains so many rare plants (including many orchids), this preserve is usually closed to visitors. Enjoy a rare opportunity to visit this incredible spot and learn about the Venus flytraps, pitcher plants and other species that live here. 

Space is limited; please RSVP to Hervey McIver at (919) 794-4396.
