Harrelson Tract Diabase Dike- NC Plant Conservation Property

(2 - 4 PM)
Event Sponsor: Margaret Reid Chapter

Join us for a Reid Chapter field trip to see rare and uncommon native plants.

Herb Amyx and Charlie Kidder, members of the Friends of Plant Conservation organization, will show us around this preserve - which is not generally open to the public. The site protects a diverse community of rare and uncommon native wild flowers that grow in the dry, open conditions and circumneutral soils of the diabase dike (a stone formation). Despite proximity to Penny’s Bend, the plant communities on the two sites are very different. Meet at the Reid Garden at 1 PM to carpool or at the Penny’s Bend parking lot at 2 PM. (Corner of Old Oxford Rd. and Snow Hill Rd, north of Durham). Please contact Amy Mackintosh (mackintosh.amy at gmail or 781-6067) to register for this trip and let her know where you plan to meet us.
