This definitely fits it’s category title! This U-Haul truck is an on-road advertisement for Venus flytrap preservation in North Carolina. The U-Haul website has a bunch of information relating to the saving of Venus flytraps in the wild on their website. It’s nice to see a big company getting behind the preservation of such a wonderful piece of nature.

Venus flytraps come from swampy areas of the United States of America (USA) or more specifically, swampy areas of the states of North Carolina and South Carolina. Green Swamp in Brunswick and Columbus counties of North Carolina is the best known area for finding large numbers of Venus flytraps, however much of this areas has been destroyed by humans and it is possible that this amazing area will be eventually destroyed. For more information about the conservation of Green Swamp please visit the What’s so special about Green Swamp in NC? website.
If you want to see Venus flytraps in the wild, there is a preseve setup at Carolina Beach State Park for viewing these wonderful plants in their native habitat.
Removing Venus flytraps from the wild is strictly illegal. They are endangered and should never be removed from their native habitat.
