Hikers got to enjoy the view from the LandTrust of Central North Carolina's property adjoining the Birkhead Wilderness Area.

Jason Walser, executive director of the LandTrust, gives hikers a description of the terrain.

Approximately 60 people joined staff from the LandTrust for Central North Carolina and the Piedmont Land Conservancy on a hike in the Uwharrie Mountains on New Year's Day. The moderate hike of approximately 3 miles was held on the LandTrust's 290-acre property that adjoins the Birkhead Wilderness Area in the Uwharrie National Forest.

Hikers were able to see a mature hardwood forest, substantial creek frontage on six tributaries of the nationally recognized Little River, and a globally rare hillside seepage bog community.
