What Makes Our Sandhills Unique?
Save Our Sandhills, Thursday, March 26 presents PowerPoint presentation, “An Ode to Longleaf.”
“An Ode to Longleaf” will discuss what was and is our Sandhills, an area with a rich history because of the Longleaf pine. Early explorers described “a vast forest of the most stately pine trees." 98% of this forest is now gone.
In order for the longleaf ecosystem to flourish, fire takes an important place in rejuvenation. The Sandhills has an exceptional biodiversity adapted to and dependent upon fire, utilizing rescribed burns. In an area under pressure from development, there are many things each of us can do to save our Sandhills. Please come and discuss a variety of ideas.
Refreshments will follow. All are welcome to stay to discuss upcoming organizational events.
Thursday March 26 at 7 PM in the Southern Pines Civic Center at the corner of Ashe Street and Pennsylvania Avenue.
