Hiking With Holiday Spirit
Written By: Jessica Blackburn Americorps, Highlands-Cashiers Land Trust | Issue: December 2024
A hike through Brushy Face Preserve is an easy boost of holiday spirit, December 11 just outside Cashiers. Everyone is invited.
If you’re finding it difficult to get into the spirit of the season, Highlands-Cashiers Land Trust is offering an instant mood elevator.
Join us for a winter hike to the Brushy Face Preserve at 9:30 A.M. Wednesday, December 11. Brushy Face Preserve is protected and owned by the Highlands-Cashiers Land Trust. This hike is a moderate 3-mile loop.
This hike is free and open to everyone. We’ll meet at Kettle Creek Road in Cashiers (look for the HCLT event signs).
Please bring water and appropriate clothes for cool weather and uneven terrain.
Brushy Face Preserve protects old growth trees, two gurgling streams that form the headwaters of Clear Creek, and provides habitat for countless species of native fauna and flora. The lower portion of the property is open to the public and laced with almost two miles of trails – a natural oasis, but the property’s legacy includes some of our area’s most colorful residents.
We hope you will come out to enjoy this hike to Brushy Face Preserve as well as visit other public properties. The Highlands-Cashiers Land Trust conserves property around the Plateau, which provides habitat for native plants and animals such as these medicinal plants.
