Video- The Orchid Keepers

This short video by Richard Kern at Odyssey Earth describes the conservation efforts at Fakahatchee Strand Preserve State Park by our partners at the Atlanta Botanical Garden. The success of their conservation program is rooted in the expertise and dedication of their staff and volunteers, and a commitment to work directly with local landowners, botanical institutions and civic organizations to develop new methods of propagating rare plants and establishing them in restored habitats.
