  • North Carolina's State Parks: Disregarded and in Disrepair
    North Carolina's State Parks: Disregarded and in Disrepair By Bill Krueger and Mike McLaughlin More than seven million people visit North Carolina's state parks and recreation areas each year-solid evidence that the public supports its state park system. But for years, North Carolina has routinely shown up at or near the bottom in funding for parks, and its per capita operating budget currently ranks 49th in the nation. Some parks are yet to be opened to the public due to lack of facilities, and parts of other parks are closed because existing facilities are in a woeful state of disrepair. Indeed, parks officials have identified more than $113 million in capital and repair needs, nearly twice as much as has been spent on the parks in the system's 73-year history. Just recently, the state has begun making a few more gestures toward improving park spending. But the question remains: Will the state commit the resources needed to overcome decades of neglect? patrol two separate sections of the park, pick up highway in the narrowing strip of unde- trash, clean restrooms and bathhouses, and main- veloped property that separates the bus- tain dozens of deteriorating buildings .

  • The Piedmont – the In-Between Land? by Alan Weakley, UNC Herbarium Curator
    The Piedmont – the in-between land? by Alan Weakley, UNC Herbarium Curator One often hears a promoter of the Triangle area saying “it’s a great place to live, since it’s only a few hours drive to the coast and only a few hours drive to the mountains.” The not-so-subtle implication of this is that the Piedmont is a place of little distinction itself in scenery or recreational resources, but that it provides good access to the more diversely scenic areas to the east and west. In matters of natural diversity, there is a similar perception – that the Southern Appalachians and the Southeastern Coastal Plain have the special habitats and the special plants, and the Piedmont is a rather boring area of rolling hills, once cloaked in a monotonous oak-hickory forest, and now mostly converted into fields, clear-cuts, subdivisions, and malls. B.W. Wells, in his classic Natural Gardens of North Carolina (published in 1932 and recently reissued in a new edition by the University of North Carolina Press) devoted seven chapters to the Coastal Plain, two to the Mountains, and only one chapter (about old field succession!) to the Piedmont. Even the name “Piedmont” (“foot of the mountains”) defines the region by what it is next to, not what it is. But is the Piedmont’s ecological impoverishment more apparent than real? Richness, uniqueness, and rarity are all measures of the biological diversity of an area. Richness is the number of species in an area. Uniqueness measures the degree to which the biological resources of an area are not present elsewhere and are therefore irreplaceable.

  • The Sauratown Mountains—MST Segment 7
    1 | Mountains-to-Sea Trail Last Updated 4/4/2018 A horse grazes below Pilot Mountain. Photo by Sharon McCarthy The Sauratown Mountains—MST Segment 7 PILOT MOUNTAIN STATE PARK TO HANGING ROCK STATE PARK By Jim Grode This 36-mile segment, located in Stokes and Surry Counties, encompasses some of the most beautiful areas of North Carolina’s Piedmont. It runs en- tirely along the Sauratown Mountains, an isolated remnant of the ancient Appalachian Mountains. This range is also sometimes called “the moun- tains away from the mountains.” Segment 7 begins in the west at Pilot Mountain State Park. Pilot Mountain is a quartzite monadnock, or isolated mountain. Known to the Saura people Segment 7 | 2 as Jomeokee—the “Great Guide”—Pilot Mountain rises to 2,421 feet and is capped by vertical cliff walls rising to a forested dome known as Big Pinnacle. Big Pinnacle is closed to all public access for ecological and safety reasons; the trail loops around the northwest of the peak. “The Pilot” has served as a navigational landmark for centuries, and even today it is a near-constant presence throughout Segment 7 and the surrounding countryside. East of Pilot Mountain, the MST joins the Sauratown Trail, one of the earliest long-distance trails in the state. Winding through farmland, for- ests, and country roads, this trail skirts the northern flank of Sauratown Mountain. The trail is unusual in that it is mostly on private lands, and is open to trail users through the generosity of many individual landowners. As you hike the trail, please be respectful.
