Search for Meehan’s Mint at Tater Hill Plant Preserve

On June 12 starting at noon, the Blue Ridge Chapter will assist Matt Estep, Steward of the Tater Hill Plant Preserve, with a search for populations of Meehan’s mint (Meehania cordata) around Harmon Knob to update the state records for the preserve. This will be a strenuous activity since the search area has no trails and is a steep boulder field, so please consider this before agreeing to participate. The number of participants will be limited – please register by email to Matt Estep (details will be sent out via the Blue Ridge Chapter mailing list, and directions will be sent with sign-up).

Info from 2021 plant red list:

Meehania cordata SR-P S2 G5
M: cove forests, boulderfields (Alleghany, Ashe, Avery, Haywood, Madison, Watauga, Wilkes, Yancey)
