It looks pretty much as though NC will be the venue. If anyone knows anything about the laws regarding the collection of herps in North Carolina, please share your knowledge with the group!

James, In State Parks or reserves it will be illegal to take or molest anything. This even include plants and rocks. Outside of reserves and state run parks, I am not aware of any restrictions. My response is based on a one on one conversation with a NC DNR officer. I'll be going back up to the general area you have planned in April and will try to get more details to be certain.

sounds good to me! the only problem is raising the money for it :P

[adamanteus]

Well, you've got more than a year to do that. You are travelling from the Netherlands? I think Kuno (Jewel-Dragons) is trying to arrange a discount fare for all our Dutch members to fly together.

[jompiej]

yes, i saw, but the problem is, raising money is far more difficult for someone who's 15 years old
but i'll try my best!

[GarterGuy]

Ok, been out of the loop for a while (job and such taking up too much time) but this is sounding really cool. I am SO in on this. I haven't done much herping in the Carolinas (except for the OutBanks area) and to do it with a bunch of garterheads is so very cool.

I'm 100% Dutch, do I get a discount too?

[adamanteus]

I'm 100% Dutch, do I get a discount too?

Sure you do, Loren.... but you have to go to the Netherlands to catch your flight!

[adamanteus]

What is it with these camp sites, that they won't answer their e-mail?
Maybe they're all closed for Christmas. Or maybe I shouldn't have mentioned snakes!

[Zephyr]

2009 eh?
Sounds doable.

[adamanteus]

It gives us over a year to save for it. I hope we get a good turn-out. I'll certainly be there!
