Nature Conservancy Conducts First Mountain Burn
Submitted by The Nature Conservancy
The Nature Conservancy conducted its first large mountain controlled burn in late spring at its Bluff Mountain Preserve in Ashe County. Partners from the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission, N.C. Division of Forest Resources, N.C. Arboretum and the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program helped with the burn. The 80-acre burn was designed reduce shrubs and some midstory trees that are preventing oak seedling growth.
