White Pines Nature Preserve with Kate Finlayson
Located at the confluence of the Deep and Rocky Rivers with remarkable views, White Pines Nature Preserve is home to several stands of White Pine, which are the most easterly known population in the state. The 100 foot rocky bluffs maintain a microclimate where it can be 10° cooler than in Pittsboro just north of here, and therefore creates a curious collection of mountain, piedmont and coastal plain flora and fauna including 200 year old Beech trees. There are extensive trails throughout the preserve that are moderately strenuous. White Pines is part of the NC Birding Trail. Bring binoculars if you have them. Bring a water bottle.
