LOUISIANA MASTER NATURALIST ASSOCIATION CORDIALLY INVITE ALL MEMBERS TO OUR
RENDEZVOUS 2022
|
Flowering Dwarf Sundews (Drosera brevifolia) proliferate around a natural seep on the hillside above the lakes and camp buildings. These carnivorous plants supplement their mineral intake from the roots by catching small insects in sticky droplets exuded on their leaf bristles, liquifying their victims and digesting their fluids. They are North America’s smallest native sundews!

On this page find information on events, accommodation, registration, volunteering, location etc.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions on public meetings the LMNA board voted unanimously to postpone the Rendezvous event to April 2022. Everything will simply roll over to the new dates. Those who have paid already can either retain their booking and hold their room or contact Janie for a refund check prior to January 2022 and can make their reservation again next year if they wish. Please note that if you paid via Paypal, then your refund will be the sum you paid minus Paypal's transfer charge.
NB If you have bagged a room at the Holyday Inn this time, and you give up your reservation for a refund you might not necessarily be able to book the room next year.
