Drop-In Social at Little Rock Creek Preserve

Date: 6/14/2024

Time: 1-4 pm

Where: Little Rock Creek Preserve

Cost: FREE

Registration: Pre-registration is REQUIRED

Following the morning hikes and experiences, participants are invited to stay for an afternoon drop-in social from 1 to 4 pm at SAHC’s Little Rock Creek Preserve. SAHC purchased the heart of the Little Rock Creek Preserve in 2020, and an additional 57-acre adjoining property was donated as a preserve addition in 2023. The preserve is particularly unique in the Roan Highlands because in addition to healthy forest habitats, it contains many seeps and wetland and floodplain habitats that are relatively rare in the mountains. A beautiful apple orchard, once part of farm production in the 1940s, now provides open habitat and a food source for a variety of wildlife and bird species.   

During the June Jamboree Social, SAHC staff will recognize the 2024 Stanley A. Murray Volunteer of the Year and share updates about our recent conservation work – including recently-protected Round Mountain and Richmond Hill tracts.

We invite everyone to join us in celebrating friends, family, and shared hike experiences. Drinks and light refreshments will be provided, so please RSVP so we have enough for everyone!
