  • Pilgrimage Schedule
    43RD ANNUAL SPRING WILDFLOWER PILGRIMAGE MAY 04 - 06, 2012 CLAYTON, RABUN COUNTY, GEORGIA & ADJACENT AREAS Clayton, our headquarters for the 43rd Spring Wildflower Pilgrimage, is nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of northeast Georgia just a stone’s throw from the Carolinas. The Sumter National Forest is to the east, the Nantahala National Forest is to the north, and the Chattahoochee National Forest is all around Clayton. Some of Georgia’s highest mountains are but a short drive. A diverse group of interested persons from four or more states are expected to participate. The pilgrimage will consist of a Friday night social with a program and great food, a Saturday banquet with a special presentation program and more great food, and fantastic field trips to some very special places located in the region. Clayton and the surrounding area have a diversity of interesting shops that will entice you to shop for local arts, crafts, and foods. Clayton is the county seat for Rabun County, founded in 1819 from land formally inhabited by the Cherokee and named for Governor William Rabun. The 377 square miles of Rabun County comprise the most northeastern section of Georgia’s Blue Ridge Geographical Province, a region that encompasses a mere 5% of Georgia. Sixty percent of the county is public lands under the management of the US Forest Service or the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. This beautiful area of scenic valleys, high rugged mountains, clear streams, and lush forests is attractive year round, but offers a special floristic bounty each spring. Join the Georgia Botanical Society for the Annual Spring Wildflower Pilgrimage and share in this rich and beautiful bounty.

NHESP is responsible for the conservation and protection of hundreds of species that are not hunted, fished, trapped, or commercially harvested in the state. The Program's highest priority is protecting the 176 species of vertebrate and invertebrate animals and 259 species of native plants that are officially listed as Endangered, Threatened or of Special Concern in Massachusetts. Endangered species conservation in Massachusetts depends on you! A major source of funding for the protection of rare and endangered species comes from voluntary donations on state income tax forms. Contributions go to the Natural Heritage & Endangered Species Fund, which provides a portion of the operating budget for the Natural Heritage & Endangered Species Program.

  • Coastal Landscaping in Massachusetts Plant List
    Coastal Landscaping in Massachusetts Plant List This PDF document provides additional information to supplement the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (CZM) Coastal Landscaping website. The plants listed below are good choices for the rugged coastal conditions of Massachusetts. The Coastal Beach Plant List, Coastal Dune Plant List, and Coastal Bank Plant List give recommended species for each specified location (some species overlap because they thrive in various conditions). Photos and descriptions of selected species can be found on the following pages: • Grasses and Perennials • Shrubs and Groundcovers • Trees CZM recommends using native plants wherever possible. The vast majority of the plants listed below are native (which, for purposes of this fact sheet, means they occur naturally in eastern Massachusetts). Certain non-native species with specific coastal landscaping advantages that are not known to be invasive have also been listed. These plants are labeled “not native,” and their state or country of origin is provided. (See definitions for native plant species and non-native plant species at the end of this fact sheet.) Coastal Beach Plant List Plant List for Sheltered Intertidal Areas Sheltered intertidal areas (between the low-tide and high-tide line) of beach, marsh, and even rocky environments are home to particular plant species that can tolerate extreme fluctuations in water, salinity, and temperature. The following plants are appropriate for these conditions along the Massachusetts coast. Black Grass (Juncus gerardii) native Marsh Elder (Iva frutescens) native Saltmarsh Cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora) native Saltmeadow Cordgrass (Spartina patens) native Sea Lavender (Limonium carolinianum or nashii) native Spike Grass (Distichlis spicata) native Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) native Plant List for a Dry Beach Dry beach areas are home to plants that can tolerate wind, wind-blown sand, salt spray, and regular interaction with waves and flood waters.

  • Native Plants for Your Backyard
    U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Native Plants for Your Backyard Native plants of the Southeastern United States are more diverse in number and kind than in most other countries, prized for their beauty worldwide. Our native plants are an integral part of a healthy ecosystem, providing the energy that sustains our forests and wildlife, including important pollinators and migratory birds. By “growing native” you can help support native wildlife. This helps sustain the natural connections that have developed between plants and animals over thousands of years. Consider turning your lawn into a native garden. You’ll help the local environment and often use less water and spend less time and money maintaining your yard if the plants are properly planted. The plants listed are appealing to many species of wildlife and will look attractive in your yard. To maximize your success with these plants, match the right plants with the right site conditions (soil, pH, sun, and moisture). Check out the resources on the back of this factsheet for assistance or contact your local extension office for soil testing and more information about these plants.

  • Echinacea Purpurea Extracts (Echinacin) and Thymostimulin
    SUMMARY OF DATA FOR CHEMICAL SELECTION Echinacea BASIS OF NOMINATION TO THE CSWG Echinacea is presented to the CSWG as part of a review of botanicals being used as dietary supplements in the United States. Alternative herbal medicines are projected to be a $5 billion market by the turn of the century. Echinacea is an extremely popular herbal supplement; sales are nearly $300 million a year according to the last figures available. Sweeping deregulation of botanicals now permits echinacea to be sold to the public without proof of safety or efficacy if the merchandiser notes on the label that the product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. The literature on echinacea clearly showed that it is being used for the treatment of viral and bacterial infections although virtually no information on safety was found. INPUT FROM GOVERNMENT AGENCIESIINDUSTRY According to the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, FDA does not have information about the safety or purported benefits of echinacea. SELECTION STATUS • ACTION BY CSWG: 4/28/98 Studies requested: - Toxicological evaluation, to include 90-day subchronic study - Carcinogenicity, depending on the results of the toxicologic evaluation - Micronucleus assay Priority: Moderate RationalelRemarks: - Potential for widespread human exposure. - Most popular herbal supplement in the US, used to stimulate immune system - Test material should be standardized to 2.4% P-l,2-d-fructofuranoside - NCI will conduct Ames Salmonella assay Echinacea CHEMICAL IDENTIFICATION Chemical Abstract Service Names: CAS Registry Numbers: Echinacea angustifolia, ext. 84696-11-7 Echinacea purpurea, ext. 90028-20-9 Echinacea pallida, ext. 97281-15-7 Echinacea angustifolia, tincture 129677-89-0 Description: Echinacea are herbaceous perennials of the daisy family.

Biodiversity encompasses the variety of life and connectedness among species. Incorporating native plants into the landscape provides natural beauty and enhances beneficial interactions by creating habitat, food, nest sites, pollen and nectar sources for various wildlife including pollinators and birds. Our native plants are best adapted to local environments. These adaptations allow plants to have significant impact on local ecosystem services. These ecosystem services include: provisioning (providing food, clean water and fiber), regulating (climate regulation, stormwater management), supporting (nutrient and water cycling) and cultural (gardening, education in nature). In recent years, there has been significant decline in pollinator populations. Bumblebees and butterflies including Monarchs have suffered dramatic, declining populations in the last 20 years.

Plants provide the nectar for honey production and pollen for brood production. Coincidently, the bees pollinate the plants allowing seed and fruit to develop. The type and availability of nectar sources in an area determines, not only the potential honey production for that locality, but also the flavor, color and quality of the honey crop.
