Who: Terri Wells, Bee Branch Farm Family Member, and Kristina Tarasan, PR and Outreach Americorps Member, Hike Co-leader
Where: Sandy Mush Township, NC
When: Saturday, May 8 at 10:00 am

Description: Join the Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy to hike on Bee Branch Farm in the Sandy Mush Township of Buncombe County. The hike will be a three mile loop, including panoramic views of the entire valley. The 500-acre working farm adds to over 3,000 acres of farmland that SAHC has previously protected in Sandy Mush. Learn about conservation easements as a tool for protecting farmland, and a bit of the Bee Branch family history and Sandy Mush lore. The hike will be of moderate difficulty along the farm property and should take around three hours including a picnic lunch.
