The map where this species of hemlock trees can be found in the Eastern U.S. shows the mountains of North Carolina — and one tiny little green dot in the eastern third of the state. That little green dot is Hemlock Bluffs Nature Preserve. In 1924, an invasive bug was introduced into the eco system in the U.S. and it destroyed much of the population of this tree species and the threat is still very real.
The nature preserve is ideal for kids, but keep in mind there are some stairs to conquer here.
We’d love to hear about your experience and see your photos in our Facebook comments!
