Buck Spring Nature Trail – June 9, 2023

Posted on June 13, 2023 by WCBC

We started at the Pisgah Inn, taking the Nature Trail to the site of the Buck Spring Lodge, and then on to the Mount Pisgah Parking Area. WCBC created the self-guiding interpretive botanical trail between the North end of the Pisgah Inn parking lot and the historic site of George Vanderbilt’s Buck Spring Lodge. Information about the plants found near the posts on the Nature Trail can be found online here or by downloading the brochure. Photography by Ken Borgfeldt, Penny Longhurst, & Randy Richardson.

Sam Knob Meadow – June 5, 2023

Posted on June 9, 2023 by WCBC

We planned to walk to the meadow monthly starting in May. However, on our scout in early May there were very few plants to be seen so we skipped that field trip. Here is the first monthly post on the flora of Sam Knob Meadow. Photography by Ken Borgfeldt & Penny Longhurst. Click on any picture to zoom & enter the slide show.
