What's New at SALT
August 4, 2010:
We just checked on the progress of our Cape Fear River Preserve in Cumberland County. SALT is conducting a timber thinning operation to enhance the wildlife habitat on the tract, particularly for neo-tropical migratory song birds. The funding for the project is through a grant award by the USFWS's Partners in Wildlife Program. The first phase of the project will be finished the week of August 2nd and the Sandhills Area Land Trust will conduct a prescribed burn during the winter months of 2010-2011. The results are expected to be a beautiful restoration and an increase in the value of the habitat. This tract already ranks as a State Significant Natural Heritage Site by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program. This preserve is one of the Sandhills Area Land Trust's flagship properties. We will schedule a members outing on this and other SALT preserves in the near future. Be sure to have your membership in place, so that you will be notified of the event. Then look for the notification.
