Save Our Sandhills, Mar. 26, Sou. Pines
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.

Saving Some Trees, April 24
The Concerned Citizens of Pinehurst are planning a "picnic in the park" to be held Tuesday, April 24 at 11:30 AM, in the triangle area on Rt 2, across from the tennis courts.
People are asked to bring their own lunches. Shirts have been made (dark green with white lettering -- Concerned Citizens of Pinehurst on front and a big roundabout with an "X" thru it on the back). Participants are asked for a $20 donation for the first shirt, with each one thereafter $10.
John Marcum has arranged for the TV and news media to be there. The group will then go to the Village Hall for a 1 PM meeting. John is asking for the group to be put on the council agenda.
If you need more information, call John, 295-6304.
