This is a Saturday outing and will involve a drive to Southern Pines, NC located in the Sandhills of NC. There will be a similar opportunity on the following two Saturdays Feb 20 and Feb 27. I am working to help organize as large of a turn-out as possible. This event is being sponsored by The Nature Conservancy of North Carolina and will give all participants a first hand look at the longleaf pine ecosystem and an opportunity to offset part of our carbon footprint. You can call me at (980) 875-8900 for more details.

Looks like you have some personal groomers there in your picture. Please check out the "Events" section and make plans to attend the next OWLS chapter meeting. I hope you find this nature network helpful in connecting with wildlife and wild places.
