  • Lake Waccamaw Subtype)
    NATURAL LAKE SHORELINE SWAMP (LAKE WACCAMAW SUBTYPE) Concept: Type covers tree-dominated vegetated wetland vegetation on the shores of medium to large permanent natural lakes. It extends inland to where the effect of lake hydrology on vegetation is replaced by the hydrology of the surrounding area, either upland or wetland. Subtype covers the unique calcareous example at Lake Waccamaw. The vegetation resembles that of the Cypress Subtype but has a distinctive and richer flora. Sites: Wetland zones along the shore of Lake Waccamaw, influenced by the calcareous waters, generally flooded much of the time by lake waters but exposed at low water levels. Soils: A specific soil series is not mapped, but soils are sand, presumably worked by wave action. Hydrology: Permanently to seasonally flooded. Water levels may vary over periods of a few years, in response to weather cycles. Vegetation: Open woodland of Taxodium ascendens. There are a few shrubs, including Alnus serrulata, Cephalanthus occidentalis, and Cyrilla racemiflora. The herb layer is patchy, with dense beds of graminoids, areas of sparse emergent or submersed plants, and a number of species that are visible only when water levels are low and the shoreline is exposed. The denser areas are dominated by Panicum hemitomon and Cladium mariscoides. Dominants in smaller patches include Eleocharis olivacea, Sclerolepis uniflora, and Centella erecta, and Boltonia asteroides and Ludwigia sphaerocarpa are abundant. A great diversity of other herbaceous species is present, including Andropogon

Such planning is valuable in the context of protecting Waters of the United States in accordance with the Clean Water Act, particularly when the interests of economic development and protection of natural and cultural resources collide. Such planning is vital in the absence of specific watershed planning. As additional information is gathered by the focus area partners, and as further landscape-scale conservation goals are achieved, this plan will be updated accordingly.

  • Waccamaw River Blue Trail
    ABOUT THE WACCAMAW RIVER BLUE TRAIL The Waccamaw River Blue Trail extends the entire length of the river in North and South Carolina. Beginning near Lake Waccamaw, a permanently inundated Carolina Bay, the river meanders through the Waccamaw River Heritage Preserve, City of Conway, and Waccamaw National Wildlife Refuge before merging with the Intracoastal Waterway where it passes historic rice fields, Brookgreen Gardens, Sandy Island, and ends at Winyah Bay near Georgetown. Over 140 miles of river invite the paddler to explore its unique natural, historical and cultural features. Its black waters, cypress swamps and tidal marshes are home to many rare species of plants and animals. The river is also steeped in history with Native American settlements, Civil War sites, rice and indigo plantations, which highlight the Gullah-Geechee culture, as well as many historic homes, churches, shops, and remnants of industries that were once served by steamships. To protect this important natural resource, American Rivers, Waccamaw RIVERKEEPER®, and many local partners worked together to establish the Waccamaw River Blue Trail, providing greater access to the river and its recreation opportunities. A Blue Trail is a river adopted by a local community that is dedicated to improving family-friendly recreation such as fishing, boating, and wildlife watching and to conserving riverside land and water resources. Just as hiking trails are designed to help people explore the land, Blue Trails help people discover their rivers. They help communities improve recreation and tourism, benefit local businesses and the economy, and protect river health for the benefit of people, wildlife, and future generations.

  • No. 20: Further Notes on Species from the Eastern North America
    Opuscula Philolichenum, 15: 105-131. 2016. *pdf effectively published online 15November2016 via (http://sweetgum.nybg.org/philolichenum/) Studies in Lichens and Lichenicolous Fungi – No. 20: Further notes on species from the eastern North America JAMES C. LENDEMER1 AND RICHARD C. HARRIS2 ABSTRACT. – Arthothelium lichenale is placed in synonymy with Mycoporum compositum. The morphological distinctions between Collema pustulatum and Leptogium apalachense are discussed and the North American distributions of the species are revised. The distribution of Lecidea roseotincta in North America is extended to include the central and southern Appalachian Mountains. The distribution of Lecidella subviridis is expanded in northeastern North America. Pyrenula reebiae is placed in synonymy with P. leucostoma and both species are illustrated and discussed. Pyrenula shirabeicola is removed from synonymy with P. pseudobufonia and both species are illustrated and discussed. The following taxa are newly reported from North America: Calvitimela cuprea (Canada, Newfoundland & Labrador), Hypotrachyna consimilis (U.S.A., North Carolina), Schismatomma graphidioides (U.S.A., Alabama and New Jersey). KEYWORDS. – Biogeography, Collemataceae, North American Checklist, Lecanoraceae, Lecideaceae, Parmeliaceae, Pyrenulaceae, sterile crust. INTRODUCTION As a result of fieldwork carried out throughout eastern North America, particularly in the southern Appalachian Mountains, we have studied new collections that prompted us to reexamine our understanding of recognized species, their distributions, and ecologies. Routine curation of the herbarium at the New York Botanical Garden led to similar studies, as has the identification of specimens that were newly donated to the herbarium. While such studies typically result in discrete taxonomic or floristic publications, there are often also brief notes that merit publication but are not easily accommodated in a standalone contribution.

Most Wof us have our favorites. I certainly do, but ask me to name my favorite wild creature and the answer I give you today might not be the one I would have given you a month ago. I’m a fickle wildlife lover. These days, I’m just getting over a pretty serious spring fling with wild turkeys. I’ve got a serious crush on lightning bugs going, but I know that it won’t last any longer than a summer vacation beach love because I’m a sucker for speckled trout come fall. I’ll be honest: When it comes to monogamy in wildlife love, count me out. I’m a serial cheater. I’ll dump a wood - pecker in a skinny minute when I hear a barred owl sing at sunset. Except for one wild thing—the loon. This is an ancient species, a large, heavy water bird that looks like a large duck but its belly floats below the water making it look a bit like a cormorant when swimming. Its summer plumage is black with beautiful white breast stripes and a white checkered back.
