It was with interest that I read the report on the recent visit to the
Monmorency CO. cp site, especially since it was being compared with what Fred
Case had written about the area in the '50s.
I made a copy and gave it to Fred on Sunday. I will see if he will give me
his impressions that I can give to the group. One thing was VERY apparent in
talking with him. He regrets using specific directions to these areas in his
papers and books. According to him many of these areas are now being "raped
of the plants".

this brings up a point that has bothered me. How wise is it to give specific
directions to these areas over the net? Sure I believe that most of the
individuals in this group are here because they love the plants and want to
help them survive both in cultivation and in the wild, but what about the few
who might be lurking in the hopes of just such directions so that they can
exploit it. I am thinking specifically of those areas which are visited
infrequently.

What are the feelings of the rest of the group?
