SUMMARY:Forty Acre Rock

We will explore the massive 14-acre granite outcropping for the annual aquatic plant Amphianthus pusillus. Its habitat is granite outcrops\, sandy-silty soils in rock-rimmed vernal pools. The diminutive amphianthus blooms in March to April. Mosses\, lichens and pool sprites give color to the granite. A combination of moist and dry woods\, mature hardwood forest\, hillside to river bottoms there are diverse habitats to SCAN. Did I mention the spectacular views where the Sandhills and Piedmont meet?\n\n\n \n\n\nSedum pusillum\n\n\nIt is easy walking through the pine forest to the granite outcroppings.
