Just a few more days to get in an autumn trail ride on Rolling Ridge Conservancy trails before they close to bikers through the New Year! Hikers will want to note upcoming closures, too.

Any questions can be directed to the Conservancy through their website: https://www.rollingridgeconservancy.org/visit-hunting

Our umbrella organization, Rolling Ridge Conservancy, is hosting another fun Bioblitz event this Saturday. A great excuse to get out in the woods on a summer morning!

Join us to observe and document the diverse summer wildlife along a Blue Ridge stream. 🌻

Ta-Da! "Kids on the Ridge" had an industrious spring session, crafting a slew of benches — all the way from windfall trees into painted masterpieces! You’ll find them sprinkled throughout the Study Retreat acreage (and a few on Rolling Ridge Conservancy trails, as well!), in spots the kids thought would be perfect for visitors to pause and take in the sights and sounds. Enjoy!
