Shaken Creek field trip with Robert Thornhill and Sara Babin
(2 P.M. - 4 P.M.)Event Sponsor: South East Coastal Chapter
Sara Babin and Robert Thornhill will lead our June field trip to Shaken Creek. Sara Babin is Conservation Coordinator with NC Nature Conservancy. Robert did his NCSU master’s thesis on the ecology of Shaken Creek complete with a key to the plants found there.
Located between Holly Shelter and Angola Bay Game Lands, this beautiful 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.

Field trip to the A.J. Bullard plant collection
(2 - 4 P.M.)Event Sponsor: South East Coastal Chapter
We are fortunate to be able to see the wonderful collection of Dr. A. J. Bullard, June 30, 2 - 4 pm. Dr Bullard grows rare plants, both native and exotic. He has an extensive collection of rare natives including the endangered Florida Torreya (Torreya taxifolia), Southern Spicebush (Lindera melissifolia), Sebastian Bush (Ditrysinia fruticosa), 5 species of Bumelia (Sideroxylon spp), Small-flowered Buckthorn (Sageretia minutiflora), Black Ti-ti ( Cliftonia monophylla) and Magnolia Vine (Schisandra glabra). He has a special interest in vines and edible fruits such as pawpaw, persimmons, grapes, pears, kiwi, fig and mulberry.
We will also be able to compare the various native species of blueberry (Vaccinium spp), ash (Fraxinus), Hickory (Carya), smilax, and oak (Quercus) all in one place. A great chance to sharpen your identification skills!
