Rachel Carson Reserve
Coastal lands have their own special treasures and needs. Beach clean-ups are necessary here. Thanks to Amy Hahn for participating in this good work and for letting us all know how important it is. Another great bunch of photos and another great blog from Amy.
Rachel Carson Reserve
This past weekend my family had the priviledge of participating in the "Beach Sweep" with the Cub Scouts Pack 130 of Morehead City.
The purpose was to remove any trash or debris from the Rachel Carson Reserve in honor of "National Estuaries Day".
If you are on the Beaufort Waterfront, and look across Taylor's Creek, you will see a complex of small islands; Carrot Island, Town Marsh, Horse Island & Bird Shoal. Those small islands make up the Rachel Carson Reserve.
While on the islands, one may see herds of ferel horses, rabbits, foxes, and a variety of coastal birds. Wildflowers cover the sand, butterflies are EVERYWHERE, and the marsh grasses take on a golden hue as the sun breaks through the clouds. Absolutely Gorgeous!
The area is only accessible by boat, and is absolutely beautiful. From
the top of the dunes on the Reserve, you can enjoy fabulous views of Beaufort, North Carolina - America's Coolest Small Town 2012.
