SUMMARY:CANCELLED - Pre-Symposium Walk - Mason Farm Biological Reserve (Chapel Hill\, NC)
DESCRIPTION:CANCELLED – Due to damage\, flooding and road closures from hurricane Helene\, the CBS Board has decided to cancel the October 5 symposium and this walk that was scheduled for Friday\, October 4.\nLOCATION CHANGE (due to hunting at previous venue)\nThis is a pre-symposium butterfly walk but anyone is welcome whether they plan on attending the symposium or not. \nWe will meet at the parking lot at Mason Farm Biological Reserve trailhead. There is no street address\, but the GPS coordinates are 35.89233\, -79.01647. The walking loop is about 2 miles or so and is flat. The trail winds through several habitats including hardwood forest\, mixed pine forest\, open fields\, and has a nice boardwalk section through a wetland. Approximately 60+ species of butterflies have been tallied here over the years and seasons. Of course\, we will not have that diversity in October\, but it’s still a nice walk. Jeff Pippen and Dave and Marty Kastner will lead. \nNo restrooms are available on the property. Please bring water\, snacks (or a late lunch)\, binoculars\, cameras and field guides. Sunscreen\, bug spray\, long pants and close-toed shoes are highly recommended. \nDirections – From the north\, drive to Finley Golf Course Road in Chapel Hill. Drive around the Finley Golf Club clubhouse and parking lot and past the driving range. Directly after the driving range at the power lines\, take the right fork onto Mason Farm Acc Road (which passes under the power lines). After about 0.38 miles\, turn to the right on the gravel access road to the creek\, then drive over the concrete ford (which always has at least some water flowing over it\, but should be passable). The trailhead parking lot is just to the south of the creek. \nPlease use the symposium registration form if you are attending the symposium and plan to participate. If you are NOT attending the symposium\, you can register for this walk online at the CBS website or RSVP to Marty Kastner at the email address below.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED - Post-Symposium Walk - Jordan Lake Tailrace and Deep River State Natural Area (Moncure\, NC)
DESCRIPTION:CANCELLED – Due to damage\, flooding and road closures from hurricane Helene\, the CBS Board has decided to cancel the October 5 symposium and this walk that was scheduled for Sunday\, October 6.\nThis is a post-symposium butterfly walk but anyone is welcome whether they plan on attending the symposium or not. \nWe will meet at the Jordan Lake Tailrace. The address is 2060 Jordan Dam Road\, Moncure\, NC 27559 (or GPS coordinates 35.65231\, -79.06748). We will walk around the fields and outflow area to look for butterflies. Going will be slow\, with level to moderate terrain\, some mowed field edges or walking through grassy fields. Be prepared for some exploring. Brian Bockhahn will lead. \nRestrooms are available on the property. Please bring water\, lunch\, binoculars\, cameras and field guides. Sunscreen\, bug spray\, a hat\, long pants and close-toed shoes are highly recommended. \nAfter 45 minutes or so\, we’ll drive 3 miles\, about 6 minutes away\, to a relatively new section of Deep River State Natural Area.  This area has not been visited much\, so we really don’t know what to expect; most sightings will be new for the property.  The trailhead is behind the Moncure Community Health Center. The address is 7228 Moncure Pittsboro Road\, Moncure\, NC 27559 (or GPS coordinates 35.63146\, -79.09675). We will hike a series of old roads\, first through a recently logged area\, around an old home site and pond\, then down into the rich floodplain and an old rock quarry along the Deep River. The terrain will not be level\, and the trail is not maintained. \nPlease use the symposium registration form if you are attending the symposium and plan to participate. If you are NOT attending the symposium\, you can register for this walk online at the CBS website or RSVP to Brian Bockhahn at the email address below.
