A Precious Habitat
The untrammeled Brushy Face Preserve is a legacy of the Plateau’s natural heritage.
Protecting Horse Cove
The trail leading through Horse Cove is laced with history and a healthy dose of mystery.

George Masa – explorer, photographer, and chronicler of the Plateau’s vistas and byways – is the subject of a September 16 documentary and lecture at Highlands Inn. For more information see hcltnc.org.
The Buzz About Bumble Bees
