Trivia Nights for Nichols for Kids and Special Olympics, hosting a rabies clinic, and operating a community pool. Interesting programs were provided during club meetings on the library, SAFE, Downtown North Wilkesboro, wildlife control, home-schooling, and the history of Apple Festival. The Apple Festival is the major fund- raiser of the Brushy Mountain Ruritan Club and dozens of other clubs in Wilkes County. The Apple Festival provides the means for these clubs to earn and spend over $100,000 to help the community in many ways.

    Volume 12, Issue 1 Page 1 Love Is in the Air! Breeding Season Has Begun in the High Country Article and Photos by Judi Sawyer

    Volume 12 – Issue 1 February 2020 to July 2020 Dear Fellow Birders, Hello everyone, wow, this spring is nothing like what we had planned!!! I hope everyone is able to get out and bird individually during migration. Make sure to visit the newly-constructed wetlands at Brookshire Park. We’ve already had reports of some shorebirds that normally are not that common in our area. Guy has sent out a notice regarding the May 9th spring bird count, and I hope many of you will be able to contribute. He has very thoroughly listed the various areas that are still open to birding, so take a look, and pick your spot! Cindy is also periodically notifying us about virtual birding events organized by AudubonNC. For now, we’ll have to be satisfied with virtual events. AudubonNC has requested that all chapters cancel all in person events through the end of June. Hopefully, we’ll still be able to have our annual meeting in July at Valle Crucis Community Park, as well as resume our scheduled walks. We’ve decided not to have an intern this summer due to the circumstances, so thank you very much to Adrianna Nelson and Christina Collins for volunteering to maintain our social media. It’s a good place to check for the latest updates. Our website calendar is also being kept up-to-date. In other news, the Burke’s grant that we received in January has multiple commitments. We have met the first one, which was asking the Watauga County Commissioners to establish a native plant resolution, which encourages the County to utilize native plants on all county properties and in development projects.

    Chapter 9 Frequency and Magnitude of Selected Historical Landslide Events in the Southern Appalachian Highlands of North Carolina and Virginia: Relationships to Rainfall, Geological and Ecohydrological Controls, and Effects Richard M. Wooten , Anne C. Witt , Chelcy F. Miniat , Tristram C. Hales , and Jennifer L. Aldred Abstract Landsliding is a recurring process in the southern Appalachian Highlands (SAH) region of the Central Hardwood Region. Debris fl ows, dominant among landslide processes in the SAH, are triggered when rainfall increases pore-water pressures in steep, soil-mantled slopes. Storms that trigger hundreds of debris fl ows occur about every 9 years and those that generate thousands occur about every 25 years.

Many old theories have been revised and new theories developed. As research continues, the story of the earth’s history as we presently understand it will continue to change. Every day discoveries raise new questions and result in the elimination or revision of old ideas. Much of the earth’s history has yet to be deciphered and the farther back one goes in time, the less clear the evidence becomes.” Fred Beyer, North Carolina–The Years Before Man Hanging Rock State Park, NC i April 2000 Funding for the original printing of this Environmental Education Learning Experience was generously contributed by Hanging Rock State Park, NC ii April 2000 This Environmental Education Learning Experience was developed by Jaye Dow Park Ranger III Hanging Rock State Park N.C.
