The Venus Flytrap: A Most Amazing Native

Horry County Museum 805 Main Street, Conway

The Horry County Museum and the AVX Foundation present a lecture by James Luken: The Venus Flytrap: A Most Amazing Native on Saturday, February 12th at 1:00 PM. Luken will discuss one of our most famous native plants, some of its unique characteristics, and why it is rare within its native range.
James O. Luken is associate dean and professor of biology at Coastal Carolina University. His research, generally focused on plant ecology and botany, has ranged from Alaska to Florida. Recent work with students and colleagues attempts to elucidate the mostly unknown natural history of the Venus flytrap and also seeks to quantify the abundant natural capital of coastal ecosystems. He is a frequent consultant on managing working lands within the context of conservation easements. His publications include books, edited volumes and journal articles, as well as popular science articles on angling, travel and plants. Early mornings often find him on the waterways of Horry County in search of opportunities to catch fish.
The program will be held in the McCown Auditorium located at 805 Main Street, Conway S.C. This event is free and open to the public. For more information, call 843-915-5320 or email hcgmuseum@horrycounty.org. To view a full list of programs, visit our website at www.horrycountymuseum.org.
