Meadowview Biological Research Station www.pitcherplant.org 8390 Fredericksburg Turnpike Woodford, VA 22580 Phone (804) 633-4336 meadowview@pitcherplant.org  Views of the Research FacilityMeadowview is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to preserving and restoring rare wetland plants, habitats and associated ecosystems on the coastal plain of Maryland and Virginia. Our particular area of specialization is an endangered habitat known as pitcher plant bogs or seepage wetlands. Bogs are acidic, nutrient poor wetlands which are characterized by a unique assemblage of plants and animals. Many bogs have been lost in Maryland and Virginia through drainage, development or neglect and most of the plants found in these sites are threatened with extinction. Our goal is to preserve and restore a part of our natural bog heritage by returning the endangered Yellow Pitcher Plant, Sarracenia flava, and the Purple Pitcher Plant, Sarracenia purpurea, to their historic ranges in Virginia and Maryland utilizing an integrated ecosystem restoration approach. The carnivorous plant, Sarracenia flava, formerly occurred in eight counties in Virginia and is now down to two populations in two counties totaling less than 100 plants. Our objective is to have at least one viable population in each county of the historic range. We also are developing a system of bog preserves in Maryland and Virginia which will guarantee the preservation of the unique ecosystems supporting the pitcher plant community.The Five Step ProcessTo successfully accomplish our mission of preservationand restoration we developed a five step process. In this mannerwe can intelligently address the challenges of modern conservation. 1. Discovery Discovery involves identifying new bogs or seepage areas which containrare bog species. Meadowview biologists have an active field scheduleand have found several new populations of bog species at the edge of theirrange in Maryland and Virginia.Click here to tour our "PitcherPlant Bogs of the Southeast, an Illustrated Guide". We are featuringlinks to exceptional pitcher plant bogs of the southeast that are publiclyavailable and protected. If you have a site you would like to nominateplease contact us. In addition to our guide you can also find out aboutthe Virginia Birding Trail, champion longleaf pine, and other interestingsites within the respective states. When visiting these wild sites pleaseobey the various local, state, and federal laws prohibiting plant collectionso that others may enjoy these natural treasures.  2. Research  We are conducting studies on the genetics, biochemistry, ecology, andpopulation biology of the pitcher plant genus Sarracenia, long leafpine and white cedar. An understanding of these factors is centralto effectively managing, preserving, and restoring remaining sites.Click here to see what Dr. Neisler has to say about the green pitcher plant, Sarracenia oreophila. 3. Propagation  Plants of rare populations are propagated both from seedand divisions to serve as a backup for wild populations, augment existingpopulations and eventually to return to the wild. 4. Reintroductionsand Outplantings  Most biologists have come to recognize that preservationof habitats is simply not enough to maintain biodiversity in the face ofcontinued fragmentation and loss of natural areas. Restorationof rare plants requires a vigorous effort to return rare plant populationsto at least their historical ranges. Meadowview is activelysoliciting landowners with appropriate environmental conditions to receiveand maintain unique populations of bog plants. 5. Education  Education is key to preserving our natural heritage inthe future. Biologists are available for instruction on theproper care and maintenance of bog habitats.
