Shaken Creek field trip with Robert Thornhill
(10 A.M. - noon)Robert Thornhill will lead our June field trip to Shaken Creek. Robert is a master’s student in plant biology at NC State and 2011 winner of a NCNPS Shinn Grant Award for his work on the plants and soils of Shaken Creek Preserve. Located between Holly Shelter and Angola Bay Game Lands, this pristine preserve is the only known NC site having all four types of the Outer Coastal Plain Pine Savanna natural communities. Four Federally Endangered species (red-cockaded woodpecker, Cooley’s meadowrue, golden sedge, & rough-leaf loosestrife) and 5 plants that are Federal Species of Concern are found here. Even more unusual, the preserve includes two G1 natural communities (which means there are 5 or fewer populations or examples in the world). Trip details below.
