Conserving Carolina, formerly the Pacolet Area Conservancy (PAC) and Carolina Mountain Land Conservancy (CMLC), and Walnut Creek Preserve (WCP) held a free presentation presented by Jennifer Frick-Ruppert, on “Why is there such high biodiversity in the Southern Appalachians?” The program was held at the Anne Elizabeth Suratt Nature Center at Walnut Creek Preserve on Saturday, September 23rd.

Jennifer Frick-Ruppert is a professor of biology and environmental science at Brevard College and the author of “Mountain Nature: A Seasonal Natural History of the Southern Appalachians.” During her presentation, she will describe some of the astounding local biodiversity and explain why this region supports such a profusion of life. The presentation will be illustrated with her photographs, many of which were used in her book, Mountain Nature. She has also published "Waterways: Sailing the Southeastern Coast" and "The Legend of Skyco: Spirit Quest," which are also filled with descriptions of the natural world.

Conserving Carolina is dedicated to protecting and stewarding land and water resources vital to our natural heritage and quality of life and to fostering appreciation and understanding of the natural world.

Walnut Creek Preserve is an equestrian and nature preserve community outside of Lake Lure, North Carolina, offering for sale large tract acreage (10-35 acres) horse farms. WCP is an exceptionally large tract of over 2,100 acres of land whose development has been designed with horseback riding, hiking and nature study in mind. The Preserve's 2,100 acres of forest and pasture land shelter a tremendous variety of indigenous plant life, including several rare and one threatened species, as well as a wealth of wild animal life. To assure their survival, only 25 wooded and equestrian home sites averaging 20 acres each will be offered for sale on the 2,100 acres, and the remaining, over 1,500 acres of wilderness are protected in perpetuity by deeded conservation easement held by Conserving Carolina (formerly Pacolet Area Conservancy).
