Tour of Bluestem Nature Preserve & Conservation Cemetery, Cedar Grove
Bluestem is an 87-acre nature preserve in Cedar Grove, NC, with a third in grasslands and the remaining two thirds in native Piedmont Forest. The grasslands – former farm fields -have restored into native grasslands and pollinator habitat. Over 3.5 miles of natural surface pathways and trails for walkers and hikers wind throughout the property. Alongside the conservation and restoration work, Bluestem offers the option of green burial in its conservation cemetery.
We will tour Bluestem with Bluestem staff, who will tell us about their conservation mission and purpose, restoration work both in the prairie and the forest, and their goal of modelling a climate resilient landscape.
Register here, cap of 30, NCNPS members have priority. Registration will open to non-members on September 28.
