I had earlier promised to post pictures from my adventures raising a tipi at the Irvin Learning Farm. I checked for them today, and they have yet to be posted by the TLC. However, I did notice some pictures from an earlier outing to their White Pines Nature Preserve in Chatham County. On February 27th, we were collecting white pine seedlings. These seedlings were to be taken to a nursery where they would grow into saplings that would have a better chance at survival. These saplings will later be replanted on the nature preserve. The reason the TLC protects the White Pines Nature Preserve is that it is an isolated population of trees that would normally only naturally occur further west in the mountains. This activity of collecting and replanting seedlings is meant to insure the future of this unique population. Anyway, here are the pictures from TLC:
