Our spring hikes will be in the land of the Longleaf Pine in partnership with the North Carolina Botanical Garden’s Saving Our Savannas program series. The Botanical Garden, with partner organizations, has developed an exciting schedule of hikes, lectures, and workshops covering the history, ecology, and culture of longleaf pine communities. Learn more about this exciting program series at https://ncbg.unc.edu/longleaf.
We will begin to explore the story of the Longleaf Pine at Weymouth Woods Sandhills Nature Preserve in Moore County. We will spend the morning on the Weymouth Woods Tract to learn about the interesting natural history of the Longleaf Pine. In the afternoon, we will visit the virgin forest in the Boyd Tract, to learn about one of the first efforts to save our Longleaf Pine Savannas.
