Redfern Fundraising Programme
2007 - 2010: US $6,500 Raised and Donated

Redfern Natural History Productions is raising money for the permanent protection and ongoing management of carnivorous plant habitats to secure a brighter future for the plants that feature in the books which we produce and distribute.

A healthy percentage of the profits from all sales taken through this website is donated to Meadowview Biological Station (http://www.pitcherplant.org) to support the Joseph Pines Preserve - a 78 acre reserve in Virginia, USA aimed at the restoration and preservation of Virginia's imperilled longleaf pine forests - the habitats of sundews (Drosera), butterworts (Pinguicula), pitcher plants (Sarracenia) and bladderworts (Utricularia).

The preservation of the remaining wetlands of the south eastern United States is of critical importance since not only are these environments remarkably diverse habitats for a wide range of endangered plant, bird, animal and insect species but also, unfortunately, only 1 - 2% of the original wetland habitats remains today. Aside from the massive ecological value of these areas, the wetlands of the south eastern United States represent some of the most beautiful and unusual natural landscapes of the North American Continent. Yet destruction continues.

Only by establishing large, permanent preserves can we seriously hope to maintain these habitats and protect the remarkable diversity of plant and animal life which they contain. This is the clear objective of Meadowview's Joseph Pines Preserve and the goal which money raised by Redfern Natural History Productions supports - so if you like our products, please support our fundraising efforts by purchasing from this site so that we may jointly secure a brighter future for these remarkable habitats and the wildlife which they harbour.

Thank you for your help
