Girdling beetle trims hickory
I spent these two days working with a small group on a proposed route for a continuation of the Uwharrie Trail through the Walker Creek area. Our group has been working on this for about a year. We have settled on a route and it was time to show it to the National Forest Service and begin their long processes of approval. As I understand the process, we will provide them with a GPS track of the route. They will have their specialists in archaeology, biology and botany look for any significant sites which need to be avoided. Then there will be a flagged route based on their stipulations for drainage and slope. Then we can build their trail.
Apparently, one of our members dug a hole for a sign he had made on another section of trail and destroyed a number of Georgia Asters, a rare plant. So I will be interested in what they find along our route.
