A network of short, easy trails provides an outdoor classroom for ranger-led hikes that teach about this ecology or for quiet contemplation. With limited understory, the forest is a natural theater for birding and viewing wildlife. The visitor center’s museum-quality exhibits explore the longleaf forest, its flora and fauna and its unique history.Weymouth Woods Sandhills Nature Preserve Herbariumzachary.lunn@ncparks.govhttps://www.ncparks.gov/weymouth-woods-sandhills-nature-preserveLunnZacharyzachary.lunn@ncparks.govCorrespondent, WEWO; Natural Resources RangercontentProviderTo the extent possible under law, the publisher has waived all rights to these data and has dedicated them to the 2024-03-29T04:29:22-07:00TORCH Portal - 8285ed9e-88c0-4544-ae14-f06c9b56ab6cUTF-8Darwin Core Archivehttps://portal.torcherbaria.org/portal/collections/misc/collprofiles.php?collid=403WEWOWeymouth Woods Sandhills Nature Preserve Herbariumhttps://sernecportal.org/portal/content/collicon/wewo.pnghttps://www.ncparks.gov/weymouth-woods-sandhills-nature-preservehttp://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/LunnZacharyzachary.lunn@ncparks.govCorrespondent, WEWO; Natural Resources Ranger<p>Weymouth Woods Sandhills Nature Preserve is a unique window onto the longleaf pine forests that once covered millions of acres in the southeastern U.S. The towering pines – some of them hundreds of years old – tower over expanses of wiregrass and rare and intriguing species, including the red-cockaded woodpecker, pine barrens tree frog, bog spicebush, fox squirrel and myriad wildflowers.
